  2. The three essential parts of any electrical circuit are: a power source (like a battery or generator), a load (like a light bulb or motor) and connectors (wires) to join them together.

    A fourth part, that is always a very important thing to have in most circuits, is a control device such as a switch, circuit breaker or fuse.


    DPDT stands for double pole double throw, basically its a relay that when energized, by what ever is controlling it, it will have 2 sets of non-connected contacts "make connection" at the same time.

  6. Simple parts of a circuit are switches, light bulb, battery and connecting wires.

    DPDT - double pole, double throw :D
