1) Experiment with wires, a light bulb, and a battery (drag them over from the menu on the left side). You can stretch the wire to make it bigger or smaller, and you can hook multiple wires together. Play around until you make an arrangement so that the light bulb lights up. In the following questions, describe what it takes for the light bulb to light. Battery Light Bulb Resistor Switch A) What has to be true for the connections on the battery? Your answer B) What has to be true for the connections on the light buib?* Your answer C) What happens to the light bulb if you make a gap in your circuit (like the picture)? This is caled an "open circuit"
