    The document discusses the minimum requirements for an electrical current to flow, which are an electrical energy source like a cell or battery, and a closed circuit. It also defines key components in a circuit like cells, connecting wires, switches, and light bulbs. The document explains that a battery is made up of multiple cells connected in series, and provides four possible reasons why a light bulb may not glow even if the battery is still good, such as loose connections, broken wires, or an open switch. It concludes by defining a resistor as a component that resists the flow of electrical current.

    EXERCISE 16

    ENERGY AND CHANGE

    Page 224
    1. What are the minimum requirements for a current to
    flow?
    An electrical energy source (e.g. cell or battery) and a
    closed circuit.
    2. Complete the following table:
    Name of Symbol Use in the circuit
    component
    Cell Source of electrical
    energy
    Connecting Connects circuit
    wire components.
    Name of Symbol Use in the circuit
    component
    Open Opens the circuit
    switch (interrupts the current).
    Light bulb Provides light energy.
    Indicates if current
    flows.

    3. What is a battery?
    A battery is a combination of more than one cell
    connected in series.
    4. Give four possible reasons why a bulb in a circuit, of
    which the battery is still fresh, does not glow.
    A loose contact at the switch
    A loose connection
    A broken wire
    A broken filament of the bulb
    An open switch
    5. What is a resistor?
    A resistor is a component that resists the flow of
    current.
    Examples are a light bulb, the element of a kettle or
    geyser, stove plate.
