Electric cell is a source of electricity.
An electric cell has two terminals; one is called positive (+ ve) while the other is negative (– ve).
An electric cell produces electricity from the chemicals stored inside it. When the chemicals in the electric cell are used up, the electric cell stops producing electricity. The electric cell then has to be replaced with a new one.
An electric bulb has a filament that is connected to its terminals.
An electric bulb glows when electric current passes through it.
An electric bulb may fuse due to many reasons. One reason for a bulb to fuse is a break in its filament. A break in the filament of an electric bulb means a break in the path of the current between the terminals of the electric cell. Therefore, a fused bulb does not light up as current does not pass through its filament.
In a closed electric circuit, the electric current passes from one terminal of the electric cell to the other terminal.
A switch is a simple device that either breaks the circuit or completes it. The switches used in lighting of electric bulbs and other devices in homes work on the same principle although their designs are more complex.
Materials that allow electric current to pass through them are called conductors.
Materials that do not allow electric current to pass through them are called insulators.
