A group of students sets up an electric circuit with wires, a battery, and a light bulb. Why is their circuit called a direct circuit?The circuit is complete, so electrons can flow freely.
The flow of electrons travels in one direction.
The light bulb is directly connected to the battery.
The electrons flow back and forth through the circuit.
1 answer
The circuit is called a direct circuit because the flow of electrons travels in one direction. In a direct circuit, the electrons flow from the battery, through the wires, and into the light bulb, which is directly connected to the battery. There are no alternate paths for the electrons to flow, so the circuit is considered direct.
