• prevents electric current from flowing

switch

• part of the bulb that produces light

• opens and closes a circuit

closed circuit

• allows electric current and energy to flow

• prevents electric current and energy to flow

open circuit

• allows electric current and energy to flow

• prevents electric current and energy to flow

conductor

• allows electric current to flow

• does not allow electric current to flow

insulator

• allows electric current to flow
