The video tutorial explains basic electrical circuit symbols, including those for a battery and a bulb. It demonstrates how to draw a simple circuit diagram and shows how reversing the battery connections affects the direction of electric current. The tutorial also covers the symbols for switches and explains the importance of a complete circuit for the bulb to glow. Finally, it discusses the role of the filament in lighting the bulb and what happens if the filament breaks.
