Which best describes a parallel circuit?

• Electricity flows along one pathway.
• The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.

• The flow of electricity comes from more than 1 load.

What will happen if one light bulb is removed from this circuit?

• The other bulbs will go out.
• The other bulbs will get brighter.
• The other bulbs will get dimmer.
• The battery will become stronger.

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because:

• series
• circuit
• static
• current

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

What is a switch's function in a circuit?

• to make the current hotter or colder
• turn on and off the flow of current
