ELEMENTS IN THE CIRCUIT |
By clicking on you can compare the elements of the hydraulic circuit which you have just studied, with a simple electric circuit. The conducting plates of a capacitator provide us with the potential energy difference which will begin the movement of the charges. We also have a switch, a flow meter for the current and a device which uses it, a light bulb. What do we have to do if we want to keep a constant current for the light bulb? |
