A ______ opens and closes an electric circuit.

• conductor

• switch

• source

• insulator

A material that does not allow electricity to flow through the circuit is known as a _____

• conductor

• insulator

• source

• switch

A material that allows electricity to flow through the circuit without disruption is ______

• conductor

• insulator

• switch

• source

A circuit with the switch open allows

• electricity to flow so the switch is on

• electricity to NOT flow so the device is on

• electricity to flow so the device is off

• electricity to NOT flow so the device is off

A ____ circuit has only one path for electrons to flow and therefore, when one portion of the circuit is disrupted, the whole circuit shuts down.

• series

• complete

• incomplete

• parallel

The circuit on the left is not complete (the light is off) because:

• the switch is closed

• the switch is open

• the battery is missing

• the battery is in backwards

The circuit on the right is complete (the light is on) because:

• the switch is closed

• the switch is open

• the battery is hot

• the battery is red
