a)

Design A

b)

Design B

c)

Design C

d)

Design D

10.

Look at the two circuit diagrams. In the circuit on the left, the light bulb is lit up. In the circuit on the right, the light bulb is not lit up. Why is the light bulb on the right not lit up?

a)

The circuit is missing a switch.

b)

The filament is broken, so the circuit is closed.

c)

The circuit needs more batteries.

d)

The filament is broken, so the circuit is not a complete loop.

11.

A complete electrical circuit is shown. It is a functioning circuit that is causing the light to be on. What could you do to the switch or the battery to make this a non-functioning circuit? Choose either the switch or the battery and explain your answer.
