Series and Parallel circuits

The current through each resistor connected in series

• will add up to the total current

• is the same everywhere

As the resistance of a resistor in series increases, the measured voltage across that resistor will

• increase

• decrease

• stay the same

This is an example of

• open circuit

• short Circuit

• parallel Circuit

• series Circuit

In an electrical circuit, electrons move from the __________.

• negative pole to negative pole

• negative pole to positive pole

• positive pole to positive pole

• positive pole to negative pole

A series circuit has ____ path(s) that the electric current can take.

• one

• two

• three

• four

In a parallel circuit if one of the light bulbs burns out the rest _________.

• stop the flow of electricity

• will go out

• can still light up

• of the light bulbs burn out also

This is an example of a _______ __________ circuit.

• closed series

• open series

• open parallel

• closed parallel

What kind of circuit is this?

• chris barton

• series

• open

• parallel

Parallel circuits are

• has more than one path for current to travel

• a circuit that has only one path for current to travel

• a circuit that does not allow electricity to travel through it

• magnets that cause electric current

what is this symbol for?
