Describe a series circuit.

a circuit that has multiple branches

a circuit that dead ends after a light bulb

What is a parallel circuit?

a circuit with multiple branches for each individual appliance or light

Will the light bulbs light up in this image?

Yes, but only the one on the right

Why are electrical wiring usually covered with a layer of plastic?

To help electricity flow along the wire

What is a switch's function in a circuit?

turn on and off the flow of current

to add more power to the circuit

What is the main difference between parallel and series circuits?

In series circuits, charges follow one path; charges in parallel circuits follow multiple paths.

In series circuits, charges follow two paths; charges in parallel circuits follow 3 paths.

In parallel circuits, charges follow one path; charges in series circuits follow multiple paths.

How much electricity is prevented from flowing through a given point

How much electricity flows through a given point.

Which of the following statements about the brightness of the lamps is correct?

L1 and L2 have the same brightness, but L3 is less bright.

L1 is brighter than L2 which is brighter than L3.

L1 is brighter than L2 which has the same brightness as L3

. L3 is brighter than L2 which has the same brightness as L1

Anahera bought a new house and has decided to rewire it. She wants to be able to turn some lights off and have the others remain lit. What type of circuits should she use and why?

She should use parallel circuits because when one light turns off, the other lights remain lit.

She should use series circuits because when one light turns off, the other lights remain lit.

She should use parallel circuits because when one light turns off, the others turn off, too.

She should use series circuits because when one light turns off, the others turn off, too.

Look at the diagram. Why did the bulb not light up?

The switch was opened and prevented electric current from flowing through the circuit.

The battery had not enough electric current to light up the bulb.

The diagram shows a complete circuit but the bulb did not light up. Why?

The plastic spoon is an insulator of electricity and prevented electric current from flowing through the circuit.

The plastic spoon is not connected properly and prevented electric current from flowing through the circuit

The plastic spoon is a conductor of electricity and prevented electric current from flowing through the circuit.
