CIRCUITS

What is an electric circuit?

• A battery that powers a device
  

• A switch that turns things on
  

• A path that electricity follows to make things work
  

• A place where electricity is stored

What part of a circuit gives electricity?

• Wires
  

• Power source
  

• Light bulbs
  

• Fan

Which of these is an example of a component in a circuit?

• A wire
  

• A plug
  

• A battery

• A light bulb
  

What do wires do in an electric circuit?

• Let electricity travel through the circuit

• Make electricity
  

• Use electricity to do work
  

• Block electricity

Why is it important for a circuit to be closed (like a loop)?

• So the battery doesn’t run out
  

• So electricity can flow and do its job

• So the wires don’t get hot
  

• So we can turn it off

What happens if one part of the circuit is not connected properly?

• The circuit becomes stronger
  

• The power source creates more energy
  

• The wires will break

• The electricity can't flow, and nothing will work
  

Why are circuits compared to roads?

• They allow movement from one place to another

• They are made of concrete
  

• They have cars
  

• They need gas to run

Which of these is a power source?

• Light bulb
  

• Wire
  

• Switch

• Battery

What is the job of components in a circuit?

• Break the loop

• Use electricity to do something useful

• Make the circuit stop
  

• Store the electricity
  

Which part of the circuit connects all the other parts?

• Wires

• Components
  

• Power source
  

• Light bulb
