Conductors, Insulators and Circuit Components

Mr. S has started to draw a circuit. He forgot to add a resistor. Finish his drawing:

In a closed electrical circuit, _____ flown in a closed path.

Items made of ____ are conductors and let electricity flow.

• plastic

• dry wood

• rubber

• metal

Which component of a circuit provides "pressure" to move electrons?

• 
• 
• 

In this circuit, electrons will not flow. This circuit is an ____ circuit

Here is a switch for electricity. What is TRUE about the switch?

• It is made of insulator.

• The switch is closed.

• The switch is open.

• The switch is a fuze.

True or False?

This circuit is CLOSED and electrons CAN flow.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Draw an OPEN circuit with a battery, switch and resistor.

In a(n) ____ electrical circuit, the path is NOT continuous. Electrons can NOT flow

Here is an electrical circuit. What will happen if we OPEN the switch?

• Electrons will begin to flow.

• The circuit will close.

• The light bulb will go dark.
