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

What is an electrical circuit?

• lets you turn the energy on and off
• a closed path where where electricity flows
• stop electricity from flowing through

What is a battery?

• switch
• power source
• insulator

A complete circuit has .......

• a motor in it
• a switch in it
• two bulbs in it
• no breaks in it

A student began building a circuit to light a bulb.  What else does the student need to produce light?

• a battery that has energy
• a wire that is insulated
• a switch that is open
• another bulb of the same size

This circuit has a battery, buzzer, and switch.
When the switch is closed the buzzer will sound because -

• the switch gives energy to the battery
• the buzzer is made of special plastic
• the wires are cooled by the surrounding air
• electricity can flow in a complete path

An incomplete circuit is shown.
To complete the circuit, a wire should be placed from —

• Point D to Point C
• Point B to Point C
• Point A to Point D
• Point B to Point D

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel
• Training
