Electrical Circuit

What is a series circuit?

• The transfer of electrons from one object to another
• A circuit with a single path the current follows
• A circuit that goes in multiple directions
• A circuit that takes place in a series of events

this circuit is .....?

• open
• parallel
• closed
• The cutest little circuit evah!

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

Pick the correct sentence.

• This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.
• Energy will freely flow in this circuit.
• This circuit will not work because there is no energy source.
• This circuit will not work because there is no switch.

Which statement is true?

• The light bulb will light up because the  circuit is complete.
• The light bulb will light up because the  circuit is broken.
• The light bulb will not light up because the  circuit is complete.
• The light bulb will not light up because the  circuit is broken.

Solve for the total resistance of the circuit shown

• 50 V

• 1970 ohms

• 705 K ohms

• 20 Amps

Solve for the voltage drop at resistor 1

• 38 volts

• 60 Kvolts

• 50 volts

• 25 volts

As you continue to add lightbulbs in series, what happens?

• The bulbs get brighter

• The bulbs get dimmer

• The bulbs remain the same brightness

• The bulbs explode and shards of glass get everywhere

What is the potential difference in this circuit?

• 30 V

• 60 V

• 2 V

• 9 V
