Editing Circuit diagram (section)

==Education==
Teaching about the functioning of electrical circuits is often on primary and secondary school curricula.<ref>BBC Bitesize. Circuits. https://www.bbc.com/education/topics/zq99q6f</ref> Students are expected to understand the rudiments of circuit diagrams and their functioning. Use of diagrammatic representations of circuit diagrams can aid understanding of principles of electricity.

Principles of the physics of circuit diagrams are often taught with the use of analogies, such as comparing functioning of circuits to other closed systems such as [[water heating]] systems with pumps being the equivalent to batteries.<ref>Walker, M. D., & Garlovsky, D. (2016).
