A simple electrical circuit needs four main parts.
These are an electric cell, connecting wires, a switch, and a lamp.
When all parts are connected properly, electricity flows and lamp glows.
Example
— A torch has all these parts inside it.

Circuit Components Electric Cell = Source of electricity Connecting Wires = Path for current to flow Switch = Controls the flow on/off Electric Lamp = Converts electricity to light
