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.

As resistors are added in series to a circuit, the total resistance will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

As the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

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.
