Hi there,
I also have a test coming up. The only thing I can think of is inputs! Sorry :( :(
To construct a working simple circuit, you will need a power source (such as a battery), a load (such as a light bulb or a motor), conductive pathways (wires) for the electricity to flow, and a switch to control the flow of electricity.
When the switch is closed in a simple circuit, the negative charges (electrons) flow from the negative terminal of the battery through the circuit and back to the positive terminal. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.
A switch is a device used to break a circuit. By opening the switch, the circuit is interrupted and electricity stops flowing. This allows for controlling the flow of electricity to different components in a circuit.
A switch is necessary to be able to turn the electrical circuit on and off, otherwise it would stay "on" all the time, until either the source of power stops giving out power - like a battery which goes dead - or part of the circuit stops working, like a light bulb that fails to work after a long time or a that motor siezes-up, overheats and eventually burns out. Even if you just disconnect a wire from the source of power, you are doing the same thing as a switch.
For a circuit, you usually need: * Conducting wires, or some other conductor to carry the current * A current source, for example a battery * A load (something that uses the power) * A switch that lets you disconnect the current flow
No. A circuit must have a switch, a source and something to receive the electricity.

To turn a light bulb on, you typically need electricity, a power source such as a battery or electrical outlet, and a switch or mechanism to complete the circuit. Simply screwing the light bulb into a lamp or fixture connected to a power source and flipping the switch will allow the electricity to flow and illuminate the bulb.
A light switch controls the flow of electricity to a light source by opening or closing the circuit, allowing or stopping the electricity from reaching the light bulb.
The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.
It is true that a switch is used to open and close a circut.
A circuit
A switch in an electrical circuit is a device that can open or close the circuit, allowing or preventing the flow of electricity. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit, allowing the electricity to flow, while when it is open, it interrupts the flow of electricity. This allows users to control the flow of electricity to a particular device or component in the circuit.
In a theoretical ciucuit, a switch is not essential. What is needed is a source of electricity.
The battery chemically stores electricity so when you 'switch on' the light then electricity flows from the battery to the bulb. The bulb the heats up to glow white and the reflector shines the light out of the battery powered light
A connection from a power source, through a load and a return back to the power source. <><><> An example: electricity is supplied to the light switch on the wall through an insulated copper wire, even though the switch is in the off position electricity is present. There is another insulated copper wire going to the light bulb. When you flip the switch the circuit is completed and the light bulb comes on.
