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 has more than one path to flow through

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

• TRUE
• FALSE

What is a Parallel circuit? 

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

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.

Current has units: 

• kilowatt·hour 
• ampere 
• coulomb 
• volt 

A 60-watt light bulb carries a current of 0.5 ampere. The total charge passing through it in one hour is: 

• 3600 C
• 3000 C 
• 2400 C
• 1800 C 

A 10-ohm resistor has a constant current.  If 1200 C of charge flow through it in 4 minutes what is the value of the current?

• 3.0 A
• 5.0 A
• 20 A 
• 120 A

What type of circuit is show in the image?
