Series and Parallel Circuits

In series circuit, there is only _____ path for electrons to flow.

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

If one of the light bulb in series circuit is taken off, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will be on

• The other light bulb will be off

• The other light bulb will stay on

• Both light bulb will be on

In a parallel circuit, if we remove one of the light bulb, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will stay on.

• The other light bulb will be off

• Both light bulb will be on

• Both light bulb will be off

If we add more light bulbs into a parallel circuit, how will the brightness of the bulbs change?

• It will get dimmer

• It will get brighter

• The brightness will stay the same

• None of the light bulb will be on

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 is divided between the three light bulbs.

What is the advantage of using a Parallel Circuit?

What is the disadvantage of using a Series Connection?

In a parallel circuit which of the following is the same value throughout the circuit?

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Charge
