Staying Safe with Circuits

Knowing how electricity works can keep you safe at home. Circuits power everything from your refrigerator to your phone charger, but they can be dangerous if not handled properly.

• Never overload outlets; too much current can cause fires.
• Use circuit breakers and fuses to prevent dangerous surges.
• Water and electricity never mix! Keep electronics dry.

Applying physics helps you make smart choices around electrical devices and wiring.
