Electricity

Is a form of energy. Many things

called electrical appliances around
us use of electricity to work.
Electrical appliances
From where do we get electricity?
 Sources of electricity

Main source Battery

An electric current:
Is the flow of particles carrying
electrical energy around a circuit.
 How can we make a lamp lights up?
What are the things needed to
make a lamp light up?

Lamp Switch wires

lightbulb
All these components together are
called electric circuit
Simple circuit
 Battery

Battery

Cell
Wire:
• Used to connect the components
together.
• Made of metal to allow electrical
current to flow through.
Lightbulb
• Lights up when electrical current flows
through it.
• Needs to be connected properly.
• We can use a buzzer instead of lamp.
• Buzzer rings when electrical current
flows through it.
 Switch

Used to control a
circuit (open and close)
 Electricity can’t flow if:
1- There is a circuit break
2- Its parts don’t touch properly.
3- its parts aren’t in the correct order.
Close electrical circuit

IN A CLOSED CIRCUIT, AN
ELECTRIC CURRENT HAS A
COMPLETE PATH TO FLOW.
THE LIGHTBULB WILL
LIGHT UP.
Closed circuit
Open circuit:
Electrical current will not flow
when there is a gap anywhere
in the circuit.

A circuit with a gap is known

as an Open circuit.
