Simple Circuits Worksheet Generator

Each problem draws a simple circuit as a rectangular loop of wire with a battery (two short parallel lines on the left edge) and a bulb (circle with filament cross on the top edge), plus an optional switch on the bottom edge. Three activity modes plus Mixed: (1) bulb-on-or-off — a complete closed loop lights the bulb ("on"); a visible gap or an open switch breaks the loop ("off"); on/off cases are balanced via index parity and the open state draws a real visible gap. (2) count-components — asks how many components are shown (battery + bulb, and sometimes a switch), answer is the integer 2 or 3. (3) label-component — an arrow points at the circle (answer "bulb") or the parallel lines (answer "battery"). 1).
