Complete and Incomplete Circuits

An electrical circuit can be complete or incomplete.

Incomplete Circuit Complete Circuit


Complete and Incomplete Circuits

Current electricity is the flow of


electrical charge though materials.

Every complete circuit must have


a power supply. The power supply
could be the mains, or it could be
a battery.

For a circuit to be complete, there


must be wires connected to both
the positive and negative ends of
the power supply.

Electricity can only flow around a


complete circuit that has no gaps.
Complete and Incomplete Circuits

Incomplete Circuit This circuit is


incomplete.

1. There is a gap in the


circuit, so the electrical
current cannot flow
around it.

2. The wires do not connect


to the positive and
negative ends of the
power supply (the
battery).
Complete and Incomplete Circuits

This is a complete circuit. Complete Circuit

1. There is a power supply


(the battery).
2. There are no gaps
anywhere, so the
electrical current can flow
around the entire circuit.
3. The wires connect to both
the positive and negative
ends of the battery.

Task Instructions:
1. On your activity sheets,
you will see pictures of
circuits.
2. You will need to first
predict if you think the
circuit will be complete or
incomplete.
3. Next, you will need to take
the correct equipment and
test to see if your
prediction was correct or
incorrect.
4. Lastly, you will need to
record what you have
found out on your activity
