Circuits Review

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

• TRUE
• FALSE

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 Series circuit the more lightbulbs you add the brighter they get 

• False 
• True 

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

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.

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

What type of circuit is show in the image?

• Series Circuit
• Parallel Circuit

A circuit must be closed for electrons to travel.

• true
• false

If you replace the paper clip with a plastic spoon, what happens?

• The bulb doesn't light
• The bulb is dimmer
• The wires get hot
• There is no change
