Circuits and Electricity

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 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

What will happen if one light bulb is removed from this circuit?

• The other bulbs will go out.
• The other bulbs will get brighter.
• The other bulbs will get dimmer.
• The battery will become stronger.

Pick the correct sentence.

• This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.
• Energy will freely flow in this circuit.
• This circuit will not work because there is no energy source.
• This circuit will not work because there is no switch.

Would would best complete this circuit?

• A wire
• A switch
• A battery
• A light bulb

A open circuit allows charges to flow. 

• True 
• False

A closed circuit allows charges to flow.

• True 
• False
