Electrical Circuits

What is a circuit that only has ONE path for electricity to flow?

• series circuit

• closed circuit

• parallel circuit

• light bulb

What is a circuit with several paths for electricity to flow?

• conductor

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• open circuit

Choose the correct sentence.

• This circuit will work because it is an open circuit.
• This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.
• This circuit will NOT work because it is an open circuit.
• This circuit will NOT work because it is a closed circuit.

What is missing from this circuit? Why would the light bulbs be off?

• The battery, there is no power for the circuit to work.

• The switch is open, so the circuit is broken.

• The third light bulb, that is needed to complete the circuit.

• The wires are not connected properly.
