Circuits

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 is divided between the three light bulbs.

What is the total resistance (RT) across this circuit?

• 3 kΩ
• 10 kΩ
• 13 kΩ
• 18 kΩ

As resistors are added in series to a circuit, the total resistance will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

What is a switch's function in a circuit?

• to make the current hotter or colder
• turn on and off the flow of current
• the pathway that current flows
• to add more power to the circuit
