05. Simple circuits
How does an electric circuit work?
Activity - Constructing a simple circuit.
Activity - Conductor or insulator?
Electrical conductors are substances that do/do not allow an electrical current to flow through them.
Electrical insulators are substances that do/do not allow an electrical current to flow through them.
How could you investigate whether a material is an electrical conductor or an electrical insulator using the following circuit?
When you have planned out your investigation take a photo of how you will set up the equipment and get it checked before you start to make sure it is safe.
Make a table of your results.
Can you...
> make a simple circuit so a bulb will light up
> draw a simple circuit diagram
> identify a material as an electrical conductor or an electrical insulator
