A string of light with small bulbs is shown below. The bulbs are connected by wire that is covered with an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels in -

• a complete circuit

• a sound wave

• a light ray

• an incomplete path

A group of students built the circuit shown below. The lightbulb does not glow. What statement explains this observation?

• The battery is not charged.

• The lightbulb is not part of a complete circuit.

• The circuit does not have a switch.

• The bell uses most of the energy from the battery.

Most cars have lights, power locks, radios, and other equipment that use electricity. Electric circuits power this equipment. Each circuit has a fuse that completes it. The picture below shows one type of fuse a car may have. Which of these describes one thing that could happen if the wire in a car fuse burns out?

• The car's lights will burn brighter

• The car's radio will not work

• The car's turn signal will blink too slowly

• The car's power windows will open faster

Which of these changes to the electric circuit shown above will cause the lightbulb to light up?

• Straightening the wire so that the current can flow more easily.

• Adding a switch and more wire so that the current can flow more easily.

• Turning one battery so that its positive end connects to the other battery's negative end.

• Making the length of wire the same on both sides of the lightbulb.

The diagram shows an electric circuit with four bells that a student plans to build. When the student connects the wires as shown, which of the bells will ring?

• Bell 1 only

• Bells 1 and 4 only

• Bells 3 and 4 only

• Bells 1, 2, 3, and 4

The diagram shows the metal posts that are usually found on a battery. The diagram shows the metal posts that are usually found on a battery.

• The battery needs only one metal post to connect to the bell, but the other metal post is present in case the first post fails to work.

• The battery needs to form a complete circuit that starts with one metal post and ends with the other metal post.

• Once metal post makes a complete circuit with the switch, and the other metal post makes a circuit with the bell.

• One metal post makes the bell start to ring, and the other metal post makes the bell ring louder.

Many types of fans are used in homes. One type of electric fan is show below. In addition to mechanical energy, which of these is produced as electric current passes through the circuit of this fan?

• Heat

• Mass

• Light

• Water vapor

This circuit has three lightbulbs and a bell. Which procedure will result in only the blue lightbulbs operating?

• Close switches 1 and 2 and leave switch 3 open

• Close switch 3 and leave switches 1 and 2 open

• Close switches 2 and 3 and leave swtich 1 open

• Close switch 2 and leave switches 1 and 3 open

A simplified diagram of a system using solar energy is shown. To recharge the battery for later use without lighting the bulb, which of the following switches should be closed?

• Switch S only

• Switches R and S only

• Switches R and T only

• Switches R, S, an T
