Inside View of a Torch
Electric Bulb An electric bulb is a small and simple light source that uses a wire filament to glow when electricity passes through it.
Filament The thin wire in an electric bulb that glows when electricity is passed through it.
Terminal A point in an electric cell, bulb or other electrical appliance where wires are connected.
Electrical Energy Electrical energy is caused by moving electric charges called electrons. The faster the charges move, the more electrical energy they carry.
Electric cell An electric cell is a device, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
Electric Circuit An electric circuit is a path along which electricity can flow. A simple electric circuit consist of a cell, torch bulb and two pieces of wire (called connecting wires).
Types of Circuit Open Circuit It is not a closed and continuous path. Electric current doesn't flow in an open circuit The key in an open circuit is shown as () Closed Circuit It is a closed and continuous path. Electric current flows in a closed circuit The key in a closed circuit is shown as (.)
Switch Open Switch A switch is said to be open when no current is drawn from the cell, and the circuit is open or incomplete. Closed Switch A switch is said to be closed when current is drawn from the cell and the circuit is closed or complete.
Solar Cell This type of cell directly converts the energy of light into electrical energy.
Type of Substances Conductors They are the substance which allow the electricity to pass through them. allow free flow of electrons Examples: iron rods, steel etc. Insulators They are the substance which do not allow the electricity to pass through them. resist free flow of electrons Examples: plastic, wood etc.
