How a Circuit Works with T.I.M.
Why does a light turn on? T.I.M. builds a simple circuit with a battery, copper tape and an LED, then finds the gap that stops it working.
- A battery has a positive and a negative side
- Copper tape makes a path for electricity
- Open circuit: no light. Closed circuit: light!
