Series Circuit and Parellel circuit

How many pathways are there for current to flow in a series circuit?

(a)  

The components in the circuit alongside are connected in series.

• True

• False

An (a)   is a device used to measure current.

The ammeter reading in the circuit alongside should be zero, since aluminum foil is an insulator of electricity.

• True

• False

What happens to bulb Y, if bulb X burns out?

• Bulb Y will continue to glow since current is still flowing through the circuit

• Bulb Y will NOT glow since current stops flowing through the circuit

Good conductors offer___

• high resistance

• low resistance

In a series connection, why do remaining bulbs not light up when one bulb is taken out of its holder?

• The path of electric current was renewed.

• The other bulbs will not light.

• The path of electric current became incomplete.

• The other bulbs were burnt out.

What will happen to the other bulbs in a parallel connection when one bulb is removed?

• The other bulbs will no longer light.

• The other bulbs will still light.

• A few bulbs will no longer light.

• few bulbs will light.

What will happen to the other bulbs in a series connection when one bulb is removed? The other bulbs will ________________________.

• have bright light and few bulbs will light.

• not light

• have a dim light

• light

Mary Ann noticed that a set of ten bulbs in her Christmas tree lights did not light up when it was turned on. What could be a probable cause of this?

• Small bulbs are used.

• Small wires are used.

• There are bulbs in the strand.

• There is one defective bulb in the set.
