All DC Circuits Must Have A Load Or: Resistance

This document describes the basic components of a DC circuit. It explains that a circuit needs a voltage source, usually a battery, a switch, and a load or resistor. It shows a circuit with two 12 volt batteries connected in series for 24 volts, a switch, and a 24 ohm resistor. When the switch is open, voltage is present but no current flows. When closed, current of 1 amp flows through the resistor according to Ohm's Law.
