Sparky’s Light Kit

What does Sparky need in order to light?

path

resistor

Voltage source

Complete circuit

And what do you need in order to have a complete circuit???

Note Time!

Current Electricity

• The flow of electrons through a conductive material

Circuit

• A complete path in which electrons flow

Volt

• A measure of the push of electrons

Conductor

• A material in which electrons move freely.

Insulator

• A material in which electrons do not move freely

Current Electricity – The flow of electrons through a conductive materialCircuit – a complete path through which electrons can flow

Volt – measure of the push of electronsConductor – material in which electrons can move feely

Insulator – material in which electrons can not move freely
