Circuits

Why is electrical wiring usually made from copper?

• Because copper is shiny

• Because copper conducts electricity

• Because copper is not magnetic

• Because copper insulate electricity

What is a circuit with several paths for electricity to flow?

• conductor

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

• open circuit

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

• series circuit

• closed circuit

• parallel circuit

• light bulb

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

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

Choose the correct sentence.

• This circuit will work because it is an open circuit.
• This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.
• This circuit will NOT work because it is an open circuit.
• This circuit will NOT work because it is a closed circuit.

Which bulbs will light?

• 1 and 2
• 2 and 3
• 3 and 4
• 4 and 2

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