Science

Today, I would like to continue with our work on circuits.

Will it work?

Draw circuit diagrams for the following descriptions, then explain whether it will work and why.



e.g. a cell, bulb and closed switch

This circuit will work because the electricity can flow from the battery (cell) through the switch to the bulb and back to the battery (cell).

The circuit is complete.





(All wires connected as normal unless stated)

1.    no cell, a bulb

2.   a cell, a bulb, an open switch

3.   a cell, a buzzer which has one wire not connected

4.   a cell, a bulb, a closed switch

5.   a cell, two bulbs

6.   a cell, two switches opposite each other (one is open, one is closed), a bulb
