Question

Zubeda made an electric circuit using a cell holder shown in figure, a switch and a bulb. When she put the switch in the 'ON' position, the bulb did not glow. Help Zubeda in identifying the possible defects in the circuit.

Answer 1

Hint :To answer this question, we first need to understand what an electric circuit is. A channel for transmitting electric current is known as an electric circuit. An electric circuit consists of a device, such as a battery or a generator, that provides energy to the charged particles that make up the current; equipment that uses current, such as lamps, electric motors, or computers, etc.

Complete Step By Step Answer:
Bulb - When heated by electricity, an electric lamp consists of a transparent or translucent glass casing containing a wire filament (typically tungsten) that generates light. bulb, electric light, incandescent lamp, light bulb, lightbulb are all synonyms for bulb.
Switch - A device that interrupts the flow of electrons in a circuit is known as an electric switch. The charge is connected to the negative terminal, and the electrons travel across the circuit. The current is received by the load and returned to the power supply via the positive terminal. This is where the electrical switch is inserted.
Reasons for the improper circuit can be -
1) The cell holder's rubber band may not be tight enough to keep the two cells in touch with one another.
(2) The power of the cell has been depleted.
(3) It's possible that the two cells aren't properly connected. One cell's negative terminal must be connected to the other cell's positive terminal.
(4) It's possible that the connecting wire is loose.
(5) The electric cell could be depleted.
(6) It's possible that the switch isn't working properly.
So, these all can be the reasons.

Note :
Every electric circuit includes four basic components: an energy source (AC or DC), a conductor (wire), an electrical load (device), and at least one controller, regardless of where it is located or how large or tiny it is (switch).
