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.

If you replace the paper clip with a plastic spoon, what happens?

• The bulb doesn't light

• 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
