| Source | where a thing comes from/starts |
| Device | something that changes the electricity into output energy |
| Systems will not work without these three stages | - source - device - output |
| Electrical circuits need these components | - a source of energy - conducting material - device |
| Source for electricity can be... | mains electricity or cell [or many cells such as battery] |
| Kettle | heat |
| Light bulb | light |
| Buzzer | sound |
| Motor | movement |
| When you connect all components it equals... | system |
| If pathway is closed, it is... | unbroken/complete [electricity flows] call this pathway a circuit |
| If pathway is open, it is... | broken [electricity doesn't flow] |
| Circuit diagrams: Cell | two lines, 1 short and 1 long |
