Build a Circuit
Light Bulb
This is being powered by the battery. It will light up if the wires are connected and electricity is flowing in a circular motion, ensuring there are no breaks in the circuit.
Watch this video to see how to set up a simple circuit and learn about all of its components.
Switch
This component creates a closed circuit when the switch is closed. This means that the metal is touching and it will light up the lightbulb. It creates an open circuit when the switch is open and there is a break in the metal touching.
Battery
This is the power source for the circuit. There is a positive and negative side to the battery. Wires must be connected to both sides to ensure the proper flow of electricity.
