Which of the following can supply energy in an electric circuit?  

•  a conductor
• light bulb
• a wire
• a battery 

Look at the picture.  Why won't the light bulb light up?

• The wires from the light bulb are not connected to the battery
• The switch is not closed to form a complete circuit 
• The wires from the light bulb are not connected to the switch 
• The wires from the battery are not connected to the switch 

Look at the picture.  What causes the light bulb not to light up?

• The wires from the second light bulb are not connected to the battery
• The wires are not connected between the light bulbs 
• The wires are not connected to both sides of the first light bulb
• The wires are too long to complete the circuit
