Pre AP Assessment Series and Parallel Circuits

If you increase the total voltage in a circuit how will it affect the light bulb? 

• The light bulb will stay the same
• It will burn out
• The bulb will get brighter
• It will get dimmer

What happens when you add a second bulb to a series circuit?

• The first bulb gets brighter
• The second bulb will be as bright as the first because they both get full power
• The circuit will no longer work
• Both bulbs will be half as bright because the voltage is divided by two now

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

• False 
• True 

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

Which of these best completes the circuit?

• rubber band
• metal nail
• leather shoelace
• wooden toothpick

Would would best complete this circuit?

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

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.
