Your question is not clear at all, but let me guess a little.\n\nAre you asking for the function of each component in the circuit ???\n\nIf so, light bulb will be the load.\nConductor is the mean for the current to flow.\nswitch, is for closing or opening the circuit\ninsulation, to keep conductors to short the circuit.\nmeter, to measure the voltage or current or power being used at some time.\nbattery is the power source to get the circuit to work.\n\nNow I guess I earn 10 points for best and only answer.

The meter must measure the power you use (and must pay for) using the formula P = IE (power equals current (I) times voltage (E)).  To do so it must accurately dedect the line voltage and electrical current entering your house.  The meter contains an aluminum disk that you can see spinning fast or slow depending upon how many (or few) electrical devices you have turned on.  Inside the meter there are two coils of wire (one on top and one on the bottom of the disk).  One coil senses instaneous voltage that can vary (and even droop in a brownout).  The other coil detects all the current you are using, if any.  With your main circuit breaker open there will be none.  When there is both voltage and current flowing, magnetic eddies are produced that measure and integrate the power being used by spinning the aluminum disk (like a small motor) which is connected to a set of gears that turn the meter numerals.  See the link for an illustration and detailed explanation.  Good luck.

Three  terms you need to know are:\n\nVoltage- This is the "potential" to make current flow through \n                a wire.  (measured in volts)\nCurrent- This is the actual electrons or "electricity"  which \n               "flows" through the wire. (measured in amperes or amps)\nResistance- This is the quality of a substance which tends to \n                      allow or inhibit the flow of electricity.\n\nOne more term is power. This is measured in Watts and is \n given as 1 Watt=(1 volt)(1 amp)\n\nHere's how it works.  You put a voltage across a wire.\nYou decide the voltage.  It does not change.  The wire and bulb has "resistance" and only lets a certain amount or current flow.  The current flows through the bulb and lights the bulb.\n So both 100 watt bulbs and 40 watt bulbs have the same \n120v "voltage".  The difference  is that less current flows through the 40 watt bulb, so it is dimmer.\nRemember that power or "Watts" is current  times voltage.\nso lower wattage means lower current.\nThe question should be how much current does each bulb use.\nThe answer is: 100 watt-5/6 amp\n60 watt- 1/2 amp\n40 watt- 1/3 amp

It's magic!!   j/k\n\nTouch-sensitive lamps almost always use a property of the human body -- its capacitance. The word "capacitance" has as its root the word "capacity" -- capacitance is the capacity an object has to hold electrons. The lamp, when standing by itself on a table, has a certain capacitance. This means that if a circuit tried to charge the lamp with electrons, it would take a certain number to "fill it." When you touch the lamp, your body adds to its capacity. It takes more electrons to fill you and the lamp, and the circuit detects that difference. It is even possible to buy little plug-in boxes that can turn any lamp into a touch-sensitive lamp. They work on the same principle.

electricity passes through the wire in the light bulb. as it goes through the curved part, it heats up because it has to push its way through ( meatphorically speaking). By heating up it emits thermal energy (heat) and light energy, and thanks to this, you can read this answer at night, all for this moment. ;)

The previous answers are all correct, but here's a practical example that might help explain a one possible use (amongst many, of course).\n\nLet's say that you have two light bulbs and three single pole switches.  You want switch one to turn on light 1, switch two to turn on light 2 and switch three to turn on both lights.  Wiring switches one and two should be no problem, but when you introduce switch three, you have a problem.  Since it is a single pole switch, you need to connect both lights to the same terminal, and now when you throw either switch 1 or 2, both lights come on.   Now if you put a diode to each light from switch three, you can keep current from both switch one and switch two from flowing back through the shared terminal of switch three and lighting the other bulb.\n\nAlso keep in mind that there are special kinds of diodes, such as Zener diodes which are used to generate a constant voltage reference sometimes needed in electronic circuits, or as used in a voltage regulator.  A standard switching diode can also be used to provide a 0.7V voltage drop for various purposes as well.

Some are photo electric...they turn light energy into electricity.\n\nSome are heat collectors...they store the heat and transfer it to the hot water heater.

NO.  When the lightbulb burns out the filament breaks.  The filament is what the electricity flows through to create light.  When this breaks there is no path for current to flow, therfore no electricity is used.

Here is a good article. To understand them, you need to get a multimeter, and electronics projects book, a breadboard (to mount circuits on), and a selection of electronic parts from Radio Shack. Use batteries initially, and then when you are more confident a power supply and rectifier to do experiments, and measure voltage, current, and resistance values around the circuit.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronics\nHyperphysics.

Generally, light is created when energy is released, usually in the form of heat. The reason a light bulb works is because electricity (energy) is forced through something with higher resistance (the filament inside the bulb). This creates heat and as a by product, light.

something that would show the different properties of electricity. its easy to do, doesn't require a lot of time, and you can look up a million things relating to it on the internet

It sounds like you are creating a basic electrical circuit. with the batteries, wires, bulbs and paper clip you can make either a series or parallel circuit. The light bulbs will light up when you have a complete single loop for series. When you measure the current it should be the same anywhere on the circuit. In a parallel circuit you are splitting the circuits into three or more branches, with one bulb on each side. When measured each branch should be using half the current. You shouldn't have any problem finding a site online that shows this experiment. use keywords, including science experiments for kids. I found the experiment in Reader's Digest,"How Science Works"

A pendulum demonstrates the transfer of potential energy to kenitic energy.\n\nA light bulb demonstrates the transfer of electrical energy to light and heat.
