what is a common energy source for a circuit
A simple circuit requires three (3) things: 1  A source of electrical potential difference or voltage. 2  A conductive path which would allow for the movement of charges. 3  An electrical resistance (resistor) which is loosely defined as any object that uses electricity to do work. simple circuit requires three (3) things: 1  A source of electrical potential difference or voltage. 2  A conductive path which would allow for the movement of charges. 3  An electrical resistance (resistor) which is loosely defined as any object that uses electricity to do work.
