you have to collect a battery(cell), battery case, 4 wires, and as many bulbs as you ewould like. now link them together. alexia age 12
A very good answer Alexia.
Here's how I would answer it.
Connect, in series, a cell or battery, a bulb with a voltage rating which corresponds to the cell/battery voltage, and, optionally, a switch.
The conducting path of a torch is a simple circuit: Battery to switch, switch to bulb, bulb back to battery. Provided the switch is on, and there are no breaks in the circuit wiring (and the bulb is good), the torch should work.
The voltmeter is connected parallel to the circuit in order to measure the voltage drop across that circuit or sub-circuit. If you were to connect the volmeter series to the circuit, since it is a high impedance device, it would represent an effective open-circuit condition. You would see the voltage available to the circuit, but the circuit would not receive its intended current and it would not function. Contrast this with the ammeter, which you do place series to the circuit in order to measure the current flow through the circuit.

A parallel circuit
the circuit would not be complete. the lightbulb would not light or the buzzer would not buzz
Inside a torch ther is a bulb a cell and a swith. with some wires connecting them. it is a simple series circuit.
the switch in a torch allows the circuit in the torch to be completed
The conducting link between the cell and the bulb in a torch is the wires inside the circuit. When the switch is turned on, the circuit is completed, allowing the electrical current to flow from the cell through the wires and to the bulb, causing it to light up.
potential energy
In a torch (flashlight), the current passes from the positive terminal, through the bulb, and returns back in the negative terminals, making a complete circuit. When the switch is moved to the on position, a metal piece inside the case touches the positive terminals of the battery, the circuit is completed, and the torch turns on. Move the switch to the off position, the metal piece no longer touches the positive terminals of the battery, and the torch turns off.
torch
A torch is simply a circuit containing a battery, a bulb and a switch. The three components are connected in series (one after the other) to form a loop. The switch simply completes the circuit so that power flows from the battery to the bulb.

A torch, or flashlight, typically uses a battery to power the lightbulb. When the battery is inserted into the torch, it completes a circuit allowing the current to flow from the battery to the lightbulb, which then emits light. The chemicals inside the battery convert chemical energy into electrical energy, powering the lightbulb.
A simple series circuit is typically used in a battery-operated torch. This circuit allows for the flow of current from the battery through the light bulb, providing illumination. The components are connected in a loop, where the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the light bulb and then back to the negative terminal of the battery.

No, a magnet should not stop a torch from working. Torches typically use batteries to power the light, and magnets do not interfere with the electrical circuit in a torch.
