Circuit Review

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.

What type of circuit is show in the image?

• Series Circuit
• Parallel Circuit

Which best describes a parallel circuit?

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

Which best describes a series circuit? 

• It has two light bulbs. 
• The same current flows through both light bulbs. 
• It uses a single battery.
• The current is divided between the light bulbs. 

What is one problem with using a series circuit? 

• It has a lot of series. 
• If one goes down, they all go down! 
• It doesn't work properly.
• There are no problems. 

What is one benefits of using a parallel circuit?  

• It gets confusing.
• There are no problems.
• If one goes down, it does not affect the others. 
• Porque es para llelio. 

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

• False 
• True 

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
