What is the purpose of the rubber coating on wires?

• serves as a conductor for the circuit

• prevents the light bulb from using up too much energy

• serves as an insulator for protection

• closes the circuit

Which is NOT a required part of a complete circuit designed to light a light bulb?

• battery

• switch

• wire

• light bulb

A circuit is open when...

• the switch complete the circuit

• the light bulb is lit

• the circuit is incomplete

• a buzzer is used instead of a light bulb

Finish drawing the circuit below by using only one of the switches to make a closed circuit.
