SOFT CIRCUITS New opportunities of integration of new materials and electronics into paper + textile based interfaces
Soft Circuits Workshop at American University of Sharjah Paola Guimerans, 2017
WHAT IS A CIRCUIT?
A circuit is a path that electrical current flows through. Circuits are made from conductive material. Electricity can flow through any material that is conductive.
A circuit is closed loop containing a source of electrical energy (a battery) and a load ( a light bulb)
A circuit can be a simple as a battery connected to a lamp or as a complícated as a digital computer
