Activity 11.1 — Electric Current and Circuit
NCERT Activity 11.1: Build a simple electric circuit with a cell, wires, switch, and bulb. Observe electron flow and conventional current direction.
How To Perform
1
Examine Components
Identify the cell, connecting wires, switch, and bulb.
2
Connect the Circuit
Join all components to form a complete loop.
3
Close the Switch
Complete the circuit and watch electrons flow and the bulb glow.
4
Compare Directions
See conventional current (+ → −) vs electron flow (− → +).
⚠️ Safety Notes
- •Do not short-circuit the cell — always include a bulb or resistor in the circuit.
- •Use only low-voltage cells (1.5 V) for safety.
