Transcribed Image Text:### Basic Electrical Circuit Diagram
**Description:**
This is a basic electrical circuit diagram featuring a simple series circuit. The diagram includes the following components:
1. **Power Supply:** Represented by the symbol of a battery, which provides a voltage of 12V.
2. **Resistors:**
- One resistor with a value of 330 ohms.
- Another resistor with a value of 47k ohms (47,000 ohms).
**Explanation:**
- The circuit is powered by a 12V DC battery, as denoted by the symbol of two parallel lines of different lengths (one longer than the other).
- The resistors are represented by zigzag symbols. The first resistor, with a resistance of 330 ohms, is placed directly in series with the power supply.
- The second resistor, with a larger resistance of 47k ohms, is connected in series to the first resistor.
- The circuit is completed by connecting the end of the second resistor back to the negative terminal of the battery.
In such a series circuit, the same current flows through both resistors. However, the voltage drop across each resistor will differ due to their differing resistance values, according to Ohm's Law (V = IR).
For educational purposes, this diagram illustrates the configuration and functioning of a series circuit, showcasing the impact of resistors on current and voltage distribution within the circuit.
