A circuit is open when ...

• the light bulb is lit

• the light bulb is not lit

• a buzzer is used instead of a light bulb

• there is not switch

Which is NOT a required part of a complete circuit designed to light a light bulb?

• battery

• switch

• wire

• light bulb

Another name for an open circuit is --

• a complete circuit

• a series circuit

• an incomplete circuit

• a parallel circuit

What would happen if the switch was opened?

• nothing, the light bulbs would still work because there is a complete path

• The light bulbs would not work because the path was broken

• the battery would lose energy

• the wires would be cooled from air
