Filament
The thin wire in an
electric bulb that glows
when electricity is
passed through it.
Terminal
A point in an electric
cell, bulb or other
electrical appliance
where wires are
connected.
Electrical Energy
• Electrical energy is caused
by moving electric charges
called electrons.
• The faster the charges
move, the more electrical
energy they carry.
Electric cell
An electric cell is a device, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
Electric Circuit
• An electric circuit is a
path along which
electricity can flow.
• A simple electric circuit
consist of a cell, torch
bulb and two pieces of
wire (called connecting
wires).
Solar Cell
This type of cell directly
converts the energy of light
into electrical energy.
