Series Circuit

What is a series circuit?

• A circuit in which there is 2 or more paths for electrons to flow.

• A circuit in which there is ONLY 1 path for electrons to flow.

• A circuit where there is 0 paths for the electrons to flow.

• I don't know

What is a parallel circuit?

• A circuit that has two or more paths for current to flow through.

• The current has 0 paths to flow in

• The current only has 1 path to flow in.

• I don't know.

What is a resistor?

• How we measure the sound of something.

• How we measure the power of something in a circuit.

• Part of an electrical circuit that resists, or limits, the power of an electrical current in a circuit.

• Part of an electrical circuit that doesn't resist or limit the power of an electrical current.

In a series circuit, which of the following is true?

• Only has 1 pathway for the electrons to flow.

• Has 2 or more pathways

• The current is the same throughout the whole circuit.

• If one bulb fuses in this type of circuit, then the whole circuit is incomplete.

In a parallel circuit, which of the following is true?

• Has 2 or more paths for the electrons to flow.

• If one bulb fuses in this type of circuit, then the rest will stay lit up.

• Current is the same throughout the whole circuit.

• Has 1 pathway to flow.

In the image, what do the wavy lines represent?

• Current flowing through the circuit

• A power source like a battery

• A device like a light bulb.

• Things that connect the circuit together.

In the image above, what do the straight lines represent?

• Things that connect the circuit together.

• A device like a light bulb

• Current that flows through the circuit.

• A power source like a battery
