Introduction to Electricity

The student conducted an experiment with circuits. Why was the bulb bright when he closed the switch?

• The switch produced an electric current

• Closing the switch broke the circuit

• Closing the switch completed the circuit

• The switch did not make a difference

A science class was completing an experiment on electrical circuits. Why did the bulb go out each time the switch was opened?

• Opening the switch broke the circuit

• The battery was probably going flat

• There was too much electricity flowing

• Opening the switch closed the circuit
