Understanding Electric Circuits

The video tutorial explains the concept of an electric circuit, highlighting the importance of a complete, closed path for electric current to flow. It identifies the problem of an incomplete circuit and demonstrates how connecting a wire to the battery completes the circuit, allowing the bulb to light. The tutorial outlines the essential components of a circuit: a source of energy, a load, wires, and a switch. It emphasizes that electricity flows only in a closed circuit when the switch is on.

What is the reason the light bulb does not light initially?

• The bulb is broken.

• The battery is dead.

• The wires are too short.

• Only one post of the battery is connected.

What completes an electric circuit allowing the bulb to light?

• Adding more batteries.

• Connecting a wire to the other post of the battery.

• Replacing the bulb.

• Using thicker wires.

Which of the following is NOT a component of an electric circuit?

• Insulation tape

• Wires

• Resistance or load

• Source of energy

What is the primary function of a load in an electric circuit?

• To store energy

• To decrease resistance

• To convert electricity into another form of energy

• To increase voltage

When does electricity flow in a circuit?

• When the wires are disconnected

• When the switch is off

• When the circuit is open

• When the switch is on and the circuit is closed
