Electrical Circuits

Which best describes a parallel circuit?

• Electricity flows along one pathway.
• The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.
• Electricity flows along more than one pathway.
• The flow of electricity comes from more than 1 load.

A pathway for electricity to travel is called___________

• current
• static electrcity
• circuit
• circle

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

• TRUE
• FALSE

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

A closed circuit allows charges to flow.

• True 
• False 

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

• False 
• True

This is needed in a circuit to start the electrons moving.

• bulb

• power source

• switch

• wire
