circuit

What is a series circuit?

• The transfer of electrons from one object to another
• A circuit with a single path the current follows
• A circuit that goes in multiple directions
• A circuit that takes place in a series of events

this circuit is .....?

• open
• parallel
• closed
• The cutest little circuit evah!

When all parts of the circuit are connected it is a ______ circuit. 

• open
• closed

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 has more than one path to flow through

Which of these best completes the circuit?

• rubber band
• metal nail
• leather shoelace
• wooden toothpick

Would would best complete this circuit?

• A wire
• A switch
• A battery
• A light bulb

Pick the correct sentence.

• This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.
• Energy will freely flow in this circuit.
• This circuit will not work because there is no energy source.
• This circuit will not work because there is no switch.

Which statement is true?

• The light bulb will light up because the  circuit is complete.
• The light bulb will light up because the  circuit is broken.
• The light bulb will not light up because the  circuit is complete.
• The light bulb will not light up because the  circuit is broken.

• The bulb is dimmer
• The wires get hot
• There is no change

This type of circuit only has one path for current to flow. 

• series
• parallel
• combination
• split
