Learn the idea
A simple battery circuit needs a complete conducting path. A switch opens or closes that path. Use only supervised low-voltage kits, never wall sockets.
Worked example
A cell, wires and a suitable bulb can make a complete circuit. A gap in the wire interrupts the path.
- Read the example and explain which rule or evidence it uses.
- Try each task yourself, then compare the answer and its reason.

copper
Copper is a conductor; dry plastic is commonly used as an insulator.
Take it further
Apply the idea in a new situation and explain your method. Open writing needs a guardian or teacher to review it.

cell
A cell supplies energy through chemical changes.

incomplete
The gap interrupts the path.
Write in your own words. A guardian or teacher should review this response.
Show model answer and explanation
The loop provides a complete conducting path; a gap interrupts current.
Check a closed loop and a clear explanation. Do not use sockets, mains electricity or real components for this task.
