7-The Closed Circuit


Electricity and Circuits
Electrical energy is one of the most common and most useful forms of energy. Circuits in
electrical devices allow electricity use with a flip of a switch.

The Different Kinds of Circuits


• Open Circuit
• Closed Circuit
• Short Circuit
• Series Circuit
• Parallel Circuit

What makes a circuit?


Electrical device
converts electrical energy into another form
Conductor
material that allows current to flow
Voltage source
source of electricity, such as batteries or electric outlets
Switch
controls the current flow

Machine shops prioritize safety, and closed circuits are often used
in safety interlocks. These interlocks prevent machines from
operating if safety conditions are not met.
A machine might have a safety interlock that requires a door to be
closed before the machine can operate. When the door is open, the
interlock breaks the circuit, preventing the machine from starting.
When the door is closed, the circuit is completed, allowing the
machine to operate.
Open Circuit
A circuit in which the continuity is broken due to which the electric current can not
flow is known as the open circuit. In an open circuit, the current flowing is zero, thus
no power dissipates from an open circuit.

CLOSED CIRCUIT
An electric circuit through which current can flow in an uninterrupted path. Compare
open circuit.
Short Circuit
A short circuit occurs when the current finds a way to bypass the appliance on a path
that has little or no resistance

Importance Of Circuit in Machine Shop

Closed circuits are crucial in mechanical technology for several


reasons, playing a vital role in achieving efficiency, accuracy,
and safety.
Closed circuits enable precise control of mechanical systems.
By monitoring system parameters (position, speed,
temperature, etc.) and sending feedback signals, adjustments
can be made in real-time, ensuring accuracy and repeatability
in operations.
