This circuit has more than one loop. When one light goes out, the others stay on. 

• closed circuit
• series circuit
• parallel circuit
• open circuit

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

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.

When all parts of the circuit are connected it is a ______ circuit. 

• open
