electric circuit

The form of energy that can produce light, heat, motion, and magnetic force.

• electricity
• water
• grass

The circuit that has only one path for electricity to travel around.

• parallel circuit
• series circuit
• no circuit

Parallel Circuit

• Electricity has more than one way to travel through the circuit.  The light bulb burns the longest.
• Lightbulb burns the brightest in this circuit.
• railroad tracks

The act of going around. A system that connects electrical devices so they will operate is?

• skeleton
• mystery box 
• circuit

Which idea is NOT a trouble-shooting step to find out why the electric circuit is not working?

• Test the wires, are they tightly connected to the fahnestock clips?
• Are the batteries lined up negative to positive?
• Is the lightbulb big enough?

A unit used to measure the electric potential of a battery is called...

• current
• electricity
• volt

An example of a conductor is?

• metal paperclip
• glass marble
• wooden golf tee

An example of an insulator is?

• metal
• plastic
• brass
• aluminum

In the diagram above, identify circuit component (part) C.

• Conductor

• Source

• Switch

• Transformer

A circuit with the switch open allows

• Electricity to flow so the device is off

• Electricity to not flow so the device is on

• Electricity to flow so the device is on

• Electricity to not flow so the device is off
