In this chapter, you will learn about electricity. Electricity is a form of energy
                  that helps us in many ways every day. It makes lights glow, fans spin and

                  machines work. We use electricity at home, in schools and in offices.



                  CIRCUITS

                  The electricity  moves in a path  called  a circuit.  A circuit  helps the  electric

                  power move from one place to another. When the circuit is complete, things

                  like bulbs and fan works.




















                                        Smart learners choose the right materials so their circuits work
                                         well and everyone stays safe. They select components that are
                                           reliable and ensure proper insulation to prevent accidents.


                  For example: A toy car works with a battery. The battery, wires and motor
                  make a circuit. When the wires are connected properly, the car moves. If the

                  wires are not connected, the car does not move.


                        Ask AIRO


                       If the voltage is increased in a circuit, what happens to the bulb’s brightness?





                  Basic Components of Circuits


                  The basic components of circuits are:

                  Battery

                  A battery gives power to a circuit. It helps electricity move
                  through the wires. Without a battery, the bulb, fan, etc.,

                  cannot work.
