How to be safe around circuits
Should our hands be wet while touching wires?
No, it must be completely dry.
Does the circuit need to be closed or open for the light to work?
Closed
When Your hands are dry and you touch a wire will the energy flow through you and electrify you?
Yes it will, as that is called an insulator.
Can a circuit work without a switch?
Yes it can, but it just can't be turned off.
Should you eat the battery's
Never,never,ever in your life!
Should you touch the glass part of a light bulb?
No
What flows through a circuit to make it work?
Energy
Seawater is an insulator( due to mixed minerals )
If a circuit doesn't have a wire can energy flow through it?
No it can't as you need a wire to make a closed circuit.
should you always be with a parent while making with a circuit?
yes you should always be with a parent while making with a circuit.
What is the most dangerous part of a circuit
The wire (Congratulations you've earned a lolly!)
Does a circuit need a power source (e.g. Battery) to work
Yes it does
Are human skin conductors or insulators?
The Human skin is an insulator as long as its dry but when its wet it can work as a conductor (Congratulations you've earned a lolly!)
What is the most important part of a working circuit?
The Battery or power source
What are 2 things we could do when the red part of a wire is coming out and its has energy flowing inside?
Not touch It and tell a trusted adult (parent or teacher if your at school).
(congratulations you've earned a lolly!)
No it can't
(Congratulations you've earned a lolly!)
If you touch a wire when your hands are wet will it affect you?
No it will not because when your hands are wet they work as a conductor
How much parts do you need to make a working circuit?
4 or 3 as you don't really need the switch.
If the wire has red coming out, should you touch it? If no, what should you do?
No, you should tell a parent.
What does a circuit need to work?
A power source
( Congratulations you earned a lolly)
What is a conductor?
Something that allows energy to flow through it
(Congratulations you've earned a lolly!)
What are 2 things that are required in a circuit
Wire and Battery
