    The document discusses electricity and circuits. It defines an electric current as the flow of electrical charges in a wire similar to how water flows in a river. It explains the components of a basic circuit including a power source, wires, a load such as a bulb or motor, and describes open and closed circuits. It notes that adding more batteries to a circuit would make the bulb glow brighter by increasing the electric energy, while adding more bulbs or longer wires would make the bulb glow dimmer by decreasing the electric energy.

    Electricity

    Charges move in a wire the way water flows in a river.


    The flow of electrical charges is known
    as:

    Electric current
    CIRCUIT

    The path which electric current flows


    Power source
    battery

    cell
    Load

    Bulb or lamp

    motor

    buzzer
    Connector

    wire
    Incomplete broken
    circuit
    circuit

    Open Circuit
    complete unbroken
    circuit circuit

    closedcircuit
    If I added more batteries to a circuit,
    what will happen to the bulb?

    The electric energy increase, so


    the bulb glows brighter
    `If I added more bulbs to a circuit?

    The electric energy decrease, so the


    bulb glows dimmer
    If I added longer wires to a circuit?

    The electric energy decrease as it travels more, so the


    bulb glows dimmer
