BASIC ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS EXPLAINED In this section we will discuss what a circuit is. I won't belabor the principles of the atom -- let a physics text handle that (boring) task. Instead let's talk about the facts you will need to know to get started in electronics. Circuit A circuit is a path for electrons to flow through. The path is from a power sources negative terminal, through the various components and on to the positive terminal. Think of it as a circle. The paths may split off here and there but they always for a line from the negative to positive. NOTE: Negatively charged electrons in a conductor are attracted to the positive side of the power source. ...
