A short burst of electricity.

A steady flow of electricity.

It provides a path along which the electricity can flow.

It provides a steady source of static electricity.

It provides a means through which the circuit can be broken.

Rubber is a good power source; most metals are good conductors.

Rubber is a good conductor, most metals are good insulators.

Rubber conducts electrons; most metals conduct protons.

Rubber is a good insulator; most metals are good conductors.

We'd be in danger of harm from electric shocks.

The circuit would be broken.

The power source would no longer provide a flow of electrons.

Current electricity would become static electricity.

A load

A current

A power source

A switch

The electrons shoot out from the negative terminal

Nothing happens

The electrons stop flowing, and the current stops

The current reverses direction
