light and heat
1-any break in the loop 2-burnt out or missing bulb
atoms
electric current
series circuit
They all have metal in them.
energy source (battery), light bulb (resistor), switch, and wire
The circuit is working and the current is flowing through it.
loop around the circuit
rubber, glass, plastic, or chalk
radio, television, cellphone, laptop, computer, etc.
The current will still flow through the unbroken loops (ex: Christmas lights).
The circuit is broken and the current stops flowing.
static electricity
a positive charge, a negative charge, and no charge
gold, copper, and metal
parallel circuit
an electric charge
between the battery and light bulb
light bulb (resistor), wire, and a battery (energy source)
a resistor
Plastic is a good insulator.
insulator
The switch allows the circuit to open and close (turn on and off).
