Circuits

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

A material that does NOT let electricity pass through it is called ...

• An electrical conductor

• An electrical insulator

• An electrical source

• An electric appliance

What is a circuit with several paths for electricity to flow?

• conductor

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• open circuit

What is a circuit that only has ONE path for electricity to flow?

• series circuit

• closed circuit

• parallel circuit

• light bulb

What is a battery?
