Electric circuits
❶There is a part missing from both of these circuits, which means they do not work. Draw in the
part needed to make each circuit work.
❷ Which of the following objects will make the buzzer sound when they
are connected to the alligator clips in the circuit? Place a check mark
beside each one that makes the buzzer sound.
Spaghetti String
❸ Which of the circuits shown below will let the buzzer, bulb or motor work? Place a tick mark in
the right box.
❹ On the right is a simple switch. To make it work, push down on the metal strip until it touches the
connecting pin to complete the circuit. Look at the circuit diagram below. Is the bulb on or off on each
one? Circle the correct answer.

❺ The drawings below show two electric circuits.
❻ Ali set up the series circuit shown below.
When he turned the circuit on, he was
surprised that the bulb burned so dimly. He
didn’t have another battery, so how do you
think he could have changed the circuit to
What will happen to the flow of electricity when
make the light brighter?
the switch is opened in circuit 1 and 2?
