Circuits

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.

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.

What slows down the flow of electricity in a circuit?

• resistance
• voltage
• current
• source of electric current

Which one will still function if one light bulb goes out?

• A-Series
• B-Parallel
• A-Parallel
• B-Seriese

If I add more light bulbs to a series circuit what happens?

• The current speeds up and the lights get brighter
• The current slows down and the lights dim lower
• The current speeds up and the lights dim lower
• The current slows down and the lights get brighter

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

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