When all parts of the circuit are connected it is a ______ circuit. 

• open
• closed

When you flip a light switch on and off you are closing and opening a circuit.

• true
• false

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

Which best describes a simple series circuit?

• Electricity flows along one pathway.
• The flow of electricity comes from the switch.
• Electricity flows along many pathways.
• The flow of electricity comes from the light bulb.

A flow of electrons through a conductor is called:

• A river
• A spark
• An electron flow
• A current

What is a common energy source for a circuit?

• Light bulb
• Battery
• Wire
• Switch

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

This circuit won't work. What essential part is missing from this circuit?

• resistance
• source of electric current
• conductor
• ammeter
