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.
