Answer

1. Electrical circuit: An electrical circuit, in general, consists of a number of electrical components such as an electrical cell, a plug key (or a switch), a resistor, a current: meter (a miliammeter or an ammeter), a voltmeter, etc., connected together to form a conducting path.
2. Junction: A point in an electrical circuit where two or more conductors are joined together is called a junction.
3. Loop: A closed conducting path in an electrical network is called a loop or mesh.
4. Branch: A branch is any part of an electrical network that lies between two junctions.
5. Electrical network: An electrical network consists of a number of electrical components connected together to form a system of inter-related circuits.
