==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''circuit''' is a loop of [[wire]] that [[electricity]] flows around.
===Energy Transfers===
====Cell====
: [[Energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] [[Electrical Energy Transfer|electrically]] out of the [[Chemical Potential Energy Store|chemical potential energy store]].
====Light Bulb====
: [[Energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] [[Electrical Energy Transfer|electrically]] into the the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of the [[Filament Bulb|bulb]].
: [[Energy]] is also [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] away from the [[Filament Bulb|bulb]] by [[light]] [[radiation]].
====Motor====
: [[Energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] [[Electrical Energy Transfer|electrically]] into the the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the [[motor]].
: [[Energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] [[Electrical Energy Transfer|electrically]] into the the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of the [[motor]].
====Speaker or Buzzer====
: [[Energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] [[Electrical Energy Transfer|electrically]] into the the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the [[Speaker]].
: [[Energy]] is also [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] away from the [[Speaker]] by [[sound]] [[radiation]].
