What This Module is About

In the picture, a flash of lightning appears during a

summer thunderstorm. Lightning is electricity that
can be dangerous to people. Even through
electricity can be useful, you must be careful
whenever you use it.

People have been interested in electricity for

thousands of years. Today, people have many ways
of using and controlling electricity. At home,
electricity allows us to use our computers, television
sets, cell phone, washing machine, microwave oven
and even small gadgets like egg beater, razor, hair
blower and toothbrush.

The lamps that brightens up streets at night are

lighted by electricity. The elevator that carry people
to the topmost floor of the tall buildings are powered
by electricity. The LRT and MRT are run by
electricity.

Life without electricity would be very different from

life today. Imagine going through an entire day
without electricity. In this module, you will see how
electricity is produced, how it works and its
importance in our daily lives.

Parts of an Electric Circuit
1
What I Need To Know

The learners should be able to:

 Infer the conditions necessary to make a bulb light
 identify the parts of an electric circuit

What’s In

When you turn on a flashlight, electricity makes the bulb light. To make the
flashlight work, electric charges must move from one place to another. The charges
travel along a path.

These pictures show how charges travel. Look at the way the bulb, battery and
wire are connected in the first picture. The charges travel along a path. They start at
one end of the battery and go through the wire to the bulb. Then the charges go from
the bulb back into the battery. You can tell that the path is complete because the bulb
lights up.

In the second picture, you can see that the wire is not connected to the battery.
The path is incomplete, so bulb does not light.

Complete path Incomplete path

When charges travel in a complete path, they travel in a circuit. You can see
a circuit inside the flashlight in the picture. Notice the thin wire---- the filament--- inside
the bulb. As charges travel along the filament, the filament gets so hot it glows

Did you get the correct answers? Read the paragraph below.

Electrons flow along a path called a circuit. A circuit is composed of a source

of electrons, the load, the wire and a switch. The source of electrons is usually a
battery, while the load is any objects powered by electricity such as a light bulb on a
buzzer. Wires connect one components of the circuit to another so that electric current
flows. Wires must be good conductors of electricity; they should be made of materials
that will allow electric current to flow through it. A switch conducts the flow of current
in a circuit. The circuit should be close for electric current to flow in the circuit.

An electric circuit can be represented through a circuit diagram. A circuit

diagram uses signs and symbols to represent the actual electric circuit. It shows how
the components of an electric circuit are connected together.

Key to answers on page 20

Did you get the correct answers? Let’s find out.

Most of the activities you do involve the use of electricity. You use electricity
when watching TV, listening to the radio, and using the computer for your research.
Many appliances and other devices at home need electricity to work.

Electrical devices make use of electricity and transform it into other usable
forms of energy such as light, heat, sound and mechanical energy. For instance,
lightbulbs use electricity to produce light, a radio uses electricity to produce sound and
an oven toaster uses electricity to produce heat.

Some appliances, machineries, and toys that move with the use of electricity
have motors that transform electrical energy into mechanical energy. Washing
machines, blenders, and battery-operated toys are some examples of devices that use
mechanical energy. During the transformation of electrical energy, some energy in
the form of heat is lost. For example, a vacuum cleaner converts electrical energy to
mechanical, sound and heat energy. Only mechanical energy is utilized efficiently
because sound and heat energy are lost or dissipated in the environment.

Electricity can also be produced by transforming mechanical energy into

electrical energy. A generator is used to convert mechanical energy into electrical
energy. Electric power plants have giant generators to generate and provide electricity
to people. These generators transform mechanical energy into electrical energy and
distribute it to houses, commercial establishments, school, and offices. The sun’s
energy and the mechanical energy of a waterfall can be converted to electrical energy
using solar cells and a generator respectively.

Key answers on page 21

Did you get the correct answers? Find out.

A simple electric circuit is made up of several parts. Look at the illustration

and point to the source, the conductor, control and device.

For electrons to flow in the wire,

there must be a source of power to give
them a push. The dry cell is the source of
power. It will make the electrons move in
the wire. Electrons will move from a place
full of electrons to a place with less. The
metal wire allows the electrons to move
easily to and from the dry cell. It is a
conductor. Metals are good conductors of
electricity. The control of electron flow
through the circuit is done through the
switch. It opens and closes the circuit. The
device which transforms electricity to light is
the bulb.
When the electrons flow from the
source and back again, the circuit is
described as closed or complete. Electricity
https://www.britannica.com/technology/electric-circuit reaches the bulb and is changed to light.

The switch serves as the break in an

open circuit.
When there is a break in circuit such
that electricity does now reach the bulb, the
circuit is described as open. The bulb does not
light up because electricity does not reach it.
The switch usually opens and closes an
electric circuit.

1. In which ways did the bulb light up? Why?
2. In which ways didn’t the bulb light up? Why?
Key to answers on page 22

Did you get the correct answers? Let’s find out.

DO THIS
1. Take the electrical cell and fix two copper wire, one on each terminal with the
help of plastic tape.
2. Fix one end of the exposed copper wire to the cylindrical metal base of the bulb
with the help of plastic tape.
3. Take another copper wire and fix its exposed end to the base of the bulb with
a plastic tape.
4. Now connect the bulb to the cell in different ways.
Now carefully look at the arrangements in which the bulb light up.

You notice that the bulb glows in case of first and sixth. In case if first and sixth,
starting from positive terminal of the cell, there is continuous path for the
electricity till it ends at the negative terminal and hence the bulb glows.

In case of second and third, the path of electricity is broken, so the current does
not reach from one terminal to the other terminal of the electric cell and hence,
the bulb does not glow.

In case of 4th and 5th, starting from one terminal of the cell, there is a continuous
path, but it ends at the same terminal. In such a situation, no current flows and
hence the bulb does not glow.

LESSON 4

What’s New

1. The circuit is open or incomplete. The bulb is not connected to the positive
terminal of the dry cell.
2. The circuit is open or incomplete. The switch is off.
3. The circuit is open or incomplete. The bulb is not connected to the positive
terminal of the dry cell.

What’s More

1. First and Sixth.

In case of first and sixth, starting from positive terminal of the cell, there is
continuous path for the electricity till it ends at the negative terminal and
hence the bulb glows.
2. In case of second and third, the path of electricity is broken, so the current
does not reach from one terminal to the other terminal of the electric cell and
hence, the bulb does not glow.
3. In case of 4th and 5th, starting from one terminal of the cell, there is a
continuous path, but it ends at the same terminal. In such a situation, no
current flows and hence the bulb does not glow.
