Series vs Parallel Circuits

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel
• Training

This circuit has more than one loop. When one light goes out, the others stay on. What type of circuit is this?

• closed circuit

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• open circuit

A series circuit has how many pathways for current to flow?

• Two

• One

• Many

• Zero

Look at this picture of parallel circuit. If one of the light bulbs break, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will stay on

• The other light bulb will be off

• Both lights will be off

• None of the lights will be off

This circuit does not work because…

• the bulbs are not connected properly
• the single cell is not powerful enough
• there is a break in the circuit
• there is a short crcuit
