Look at the picture of the series circuit here. When one light bulb is removed from series circuit, will the second light bulb still light on?

• Yes

• No

• I am not sure

Which one is the circuit diagram of this parallel circuit?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Appliances that is NOT connected in parallel circuit is ....

• Lights

• TV

• Old school Christmas lights

• Dishwasher

The lights are connected side by side so the current goes through one light and then the second. This is the characteristics of which circuit?

• Parallel Circuit

• Simple Circuit

• Series Circuit

• I am not sure

Look at this picture of parallel circuit. If one of the light bulb breaks, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will still on

• The other light bulb will be off

• Both lights will be off

• None of the light will be off

In parallel circuit, the current must split. This means when the ____ reach where the wire splits, the current will travel down one path or the other.

• Neutrons

• Protons

• Neurons

• Electrons

There is only one path for the electrons to flow. This is the characteristics of which circuit?

• Series circuit

• Parallel circuit

• Simple circuit

What is the advantage of having a safety switch or fuse in the electric circuits of your house?

• Safety switches break the circuit when there is no fault

• It prevents the circuit from overheating and starting the fire

• Safety switches switch the electrical current

• Fuses are fused together with electrical wires
