Circuits - AP Review

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

• series circuit

• closed circuit

• parallel circuit

• light bulb

Will the light bulb in this circuit light and why/why not?

• yes, because it has two batteries
• no, because the switch is open
• yes, because it is in a circuit
• no, because the bulb is burned out

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 will happen if one light bulb is removed from this circuit?

• The other bulbs will go out.
• The other bulbs will stay on
• The other bulbs will get dimmer.
• The battery will become stronger.

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel
• Training

what is this symbol for?

• light bulb
• switch
• battery
• resistor

NGSS.HS-PS2-5

The total resistance in this circuit is 

• 100 ohms
• 450 ohms
• 400 ohms
• 30 ohms

The total current through this circuit is

• 0.02 amps
• 0.09 amps
• 50 amps
• 9 amps

The voltage dropped across the 300 ohm resistor is 

• 6 V
• 9 V
• 2 V
• 30 V

As resistors are added in series to a circuit, the total resistance will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same
