1. A cell is a device capable of converting chemical energy into electrical energy. A battery consists of one or more cells that convert chemical energy into electricity as a form of power.
2. A lamp is a device that gives light. A switch makes or breaks an electric circuit.
3. Instruments like a voltmeter and ammeter measure voltage and current in a circuit. Resistors and rheostats control the flow of electrons by varying resistance.
