What we want to do


Every electrical system consists of the same things, there is a consumer (for example a lamp, an oven...) which is the block that must do something for us. Before it can do any work at all, a consumer needs some power. This power is made by a '''generator. '''But now this power should still be carried from the generator towards the consumer. That is exactly what cables are made for. They are the the essential connections between all your different components.

Another way to think about this is by comparing it to a water circuit. Here you have a pump (the consumer) that pumps water into pipes (the cables) so that you can get water from the tap or inside your watering hose (the consumer).

How to do it
Now it's time for actually making a lamp work.

First you need three blocks

Once you got all these blocks, we can start with building the circuit. All you have to do is place all the components next to eachother.
 * 1) A generator, for example the basic generator.
 * 2) Some cables, I would advise to use insulated cables, as you could otherwise get hurt pretty badly.
 * 3) A lamp, you can choose any kind of lamp, in whichever colour you prefer. In the picture, we used a yellow light bulb, but you can use whatever you want.

For example: place a generator, then place a cable next to that generator, you will now see that the cable connects to the generator. If you want, you can connect another cable to the the first cable to make a bigger line. Now you only have to connect your lamp to the cables. Here it is important to notice that the cables only connect to the bottom of most lamps. The easiest way to make sure that the lamp is turned properly is by aiming at a cable and then right-clicking.
