Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 CIRCUITS • A circuit is a path that electrons travel from a power source (such as a battery) through a load such as a light bulb and back to the power source. FIGURE 4-1 All complete circuits must have a power source, a power path, protection (fuse), an electrical load (light bulb in this case), and a return path back to the power source.

For example, if both voltage (E) and resistance (R) are known, cover the letter/(amperes). Notice that the letter E is above the letter R, so divide the resistor’s value into the voltage to determine the current in the circuit.
