SERIES CIRCUIT AND PARALLEL CIRCUIT

Which circuit is pictured below?

• Parallel
• Incomplete
• Series

In a series circuit, if one receiver is disconnected, nothing will work.

• true
• false

• 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

This circuit does not work because…

• the bulbs are not connected properly
• two cells are not powerful enough
• there is a break in the circuit
• the cells are facing each other
