What is the purpose of the light bulb in a circuit?
What is to show the electricity?
500
Metals are examples of ________________ and plastic is an example of ___________________.
What is conductor, insulator?
500

500
Plastic is an insulator?
What is true?
500

Explain what happens to a light bulb when the circuit is broken and why.

The bulb turns off because the circuit is open, so electricity cannot flow to the bulb
