Emma wants to investigate how electricity flows through a circuit. She gathers three pieces of wire, a battery, a light bulb, and a metal switch. First she puts on her safety gloves. Then she uses the wires to fasten together the battery, the light bulb, and the switch. The drawing shows the circuit that Emma makes.
When Emma turns the switch on, the bulb lights up. If Emma replaces the metal switch with one made of plastic, what will happen when she turns the switch on?
That will close the circuit and the bulb will come on.
The circuit will stay open and the bulb will not come on.
