Key Components of Electrical Circuits At the heart of electrical circuit theory are several key components: Resistors: These components resist the flow of electric current, causing a voltage drop. They are measured in ohms (Ω). Capacitors: Capacitors store and release electrical energy, characterized by their capacitance measured in farads (F). Inductors: Inductors store energy in a magnetic field when current flow…
