▼

- The circuit must be complete, with no breaks or gaps, for current to flow.
- The battery provides the energy needed to push electrons through the circuit.
- The direction of electron flow is from the negative terminal of the battery, through the wires and components, and back to the positive terminal.
- Increasing the length of the wire increases resistance, which reduces the current and makes the bulb dimmer.
- Decreasing the length of the wire decreases resistance, which increases the current and makes the bulb brighter.
- The brightness of the bulb indicates the amount of current flowing through the circuit.
