Describing Circuits ม3

What part of an electrical circuit converts chemical energy to electrical energy?

• switch

• light

• battery

• bulb

Would would best complete this circuit?

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

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 is divided between the three light bulbs.

An incomplete circuit is shown.
To complete the circuit, a wire should be placed from —

• Point D to Point C
• Point B to Point C
• Point A to Point D
• Point B to Point D

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

This circuit is .....?

• open
• parallel
• closed
• shows the flow of electricity

Look at the picture.  Why won't the light bulb light up?

• The wires from the light bulb are not connected to the battery
• The switch is not closed to form a complete circuit 
• The wires from the light bulb are not connected to the switch 
• The wires from the battery are not connected to the switch 

Look at the picture.  What causes the light bulb not to light up?

• The wires from the second light bulb are not connected to the battery
• The wires are not connected between the light bulbs 
• The wires are not connected to both sides of the first light bulb
• The wires are too long to complete the circuit 

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.

A kilowatt-hour is equivalent to

• 1000 W.

• 3600 J.

• 3,600,000 J/s.

• 3,600,000 J.
