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

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

Why is electrical wiring usually made from copper?

• Because copper is shiny

• Because copper conducts electricity

• Because copper is not magnetic

• Because copper insulate electricity
