Electric Circuits

Mr. Anderson explains electric circuits, focusing on voltage, current, and circuit elements like resistors, capacitors, and switches. Using a water analogy, he illustrates how these elements function. The video includes a PhET simulation to demonstrate Ohm's Law and explores series and parallel circuits, highlighting differences in voltage and current distribution. Calculations for resistance and current in both circuit types are also covered.
