What's Wrong With These Circuits?: 1. Explain Why The Light Bulbs Won't Light in The Circuit

The document contains a worksheet asking students to identify issues with 3 circuits based on diagrams. For the first circuit, the summary states there is no wire returning the current to the battery's positive terminal. The second circuit is missing a connection due to an open switch. For the third circuit, one of the wires needs to connect to the other terminal of the light socket for electricity to flow through the bulb.

The circuit does not have a wire that returns to the


current to the battery's positive terminal.

2. Explain why the light bulb isn't lighting up in the circuit


pictured on the right.

The switch is lifted, which is stopping the current. If you


lower the switch, the bulb should light.

3. Explain why the light bulb isn't lighting up in the circuit


pictured on the right.

The electricity isn't flowing through the bulb and socket. One
of the wires needs to be connected to the other terminal of
the light socket.
