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

What is a Parallel circuit? 

• Has only one path 
• Has more than one path 
• Allows energy to travel through easily 
• Has only one light bulb

What is a circuit?

• A constant flow of electricity 
• A path that a current can flow along

If the electric circuit is CLOSED, the switch is _______.
