What is the relationship between the direction of conventional current flow and electron flow?

• They are opposite to each other.

• They are the same.

• They are unrelated.

• They change randomly.

What is the function of a switch in an electric circuit?

• It turns the current on or off.

• It stores electrical energy.

• It increases the voltage.

• It converts energy into light.

What does a bulb do in an electric circuit?

• It converts electrical energy into light and heat energy.

• It stores electrical energy.

• It turns the circuit on or off.
