Science Synopsis Electric Circuits
An electric Circuit is a complete path tht carries electric current from one place to another basic circuit needs:1) A source: battery, plug, lemon, et.2) A resistor: light bulb, motor, fan, etc.3) Connecting wires, switches, etcA circuit connects in a path these things. The positive and negative energy in a batery never needed to connect (until they reach the resistor) or else they connect a short circuit. The flow of charge in a circuit is measured in volts (a battery has 15 volts, a plug has 220 volts) and the amount of current is measured in amps (more then 0.2 amps are deadly). Ohm's law states the resistance of a circuit is equals to the voltage (volts) divided by the charge (amps). Eletricity is connected to magnetism if you connect a wire with loops (called a solenoid) to a functioning circuit you will produce a magnetic field. This magnetic field needs eletricity to function, but it has the advantage that it is controlled by your own circuit, so you can decide the power on the magnetic field (that depends on the voltage/materials/resistance of the your circuit) and you can turn it on and on

Dear Manfredi,
You wrote an excellent blog, however, you should concentrate on circuits rather than on electricity in general and improve the spelling and grammar.
Best regards

Sorry where is your drama entry?

You should re-proof your entry and check for grammatical errors. However it is a very good entry: good job!
