Series vs Parallel Circuits

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel
• Training

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.

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

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

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

A series circuit has how many pathways for the electrons to flow?

• Two
• One
• Many
• Zero

• Series circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Series circuit - Bulbs are off
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are off

• Bulbs are in parallel - Circuit X is brighter than Circuit Y
• Bulbs are in parallel - Circuit Y is brighter than Circuit X
• Bulbs are in series - Circuit X is brighter than Circuit Y
• Bulbs are in series - Circuit Y is brighter than Circuit X
