Circuits

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

In a parallel circuit if one light bulb goes OUT; then they ALL go out. TRUE OR FALSE?

• TRUE
• FALSE

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

In a Series circuit the more lightbulbs you add the brighter they get 

• False 
• True 

What is a Parallel circuit? 

• Has only one path 
• Has more than one path 
• Allows energy to travel through easily 

What is a switch's function in a circuit?

• to make the current hotter or colder
• turn on and off the flow of current
• the pathway that current flows
• to add more power to the circuit

Which best describes a simple series circuit?

• Electricity flows along one pathway.
• The flow of electricity comes from the switch.
• Electricity flows along many pathways.
• The flow of electricity comes from the light bulb.
