The Circuit

Imagine you're a tiny electron traveling through a flashlight: What would you call the path you're taking?

• Circuit

• Triangle

• Square

• Circle

Imagine you're a tiny electron in a bustling city circuit. What would a switch represent for you in this scenario?

• It's like a roadblock, halting your journey

• It's like a bridge, aiding you to continue your journey

• It's like a power boost, making you shine brighter

• It's like a dimmer, making you shine less bright
