Thinking About The Question
What is an electric circuit?
What is an electric circuit?
Looking at the set-ups below. Which one will light the bulb, A or B? Explain your answer.
A. ***Missing Image*** B. ***Missing Image***
A "circuit" is a complete loop of wire that allows electrical charge to flow. When electric charge flows, it can light a bulb. What would you have to do to set-up "B" above to make electrical charge flow?
Electric circuits can be made in different ways to do many things. In many cases, things that you use electricity do more than light a single light bulb. Can you think of something that has more than one lit bulb?
In this Investigation, you will build different types of electric circuits.
