These comprehensive RBSE Class 6 Science Notes Chapter 12 Electricity and Circuits will give a brief overview of all the concepts.

RBSE Class 6 Science Chapter 12 Notes Electricity and Circuits

→ A power station provides us with electricity.

→ The metal cap is the positive terminal and the metal disc is the negative terminal of the electric cell.

→ 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 thin wire that gives off light is called the filament of the bulb. The base of the bulb and the metal tip of the base are the two terminals of the bulb.

→ The electric circuit provides a complete path for electricity to pass (current to flow) between the two terminals of the electric cell. The bulb glows only when the current flows through the circuit.

→ In an electric circuit, the direction of current is taken to be from the positive to the negative terminal of the electric cell.

→ An electric bulb may fuse due to break in its filament. Therefore, a fused bulb does not light up as no current passes through its filament.

→ A switch is a simple device that either breaks the circuit or completes it.

→ 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.
