Electricity Quiz - series & parallel circuits

1.When the electrons in a circuit flow in a loop or circle, we call this a:

• A) Series circuit

• B) Parallel circuit

2. 2. In this series circuit, if one bulb were unscrewed, what would happen to the other bulb?

• A) It will stay on

• B) It would go off

3. 3.What is the purpose of a battery in a circuit?

• A) To deliver electrons to the switch.

• B) To give energy to the load (like a light bulb).

4. If a parallel circuit has a battery with 6V, how much voltage does one of the light bulbs have?

• A) 6 V (the same voltage)

• B) 2 V (the voltage is shared)

5. 5. When the switch is closed, both light bulbs will go on.

• A) True

• B) False

6. 6.What is the purpose of the light bulb in the circuit?

• A) The purpose is to use up energy

• B) The purpose is to give off light.

7. 7.What is the purpose of the wires in a circuit?

• A) To slow down the electron flow.

• B) To help light the bulb.

• C) To allow the electrons to flow around.

8. 8.In a parallel circuit, if one bulb were unscrewed, what would happen to the other bulb?

• A) It will stay on

• B) It would go off

9. 9.How many paths for electron flow is there in the parallel circuit?

• A) one (1)

• B) two (2)

• C) three (3)

10. 10. In this parallel circuit, what would happen to the other light bulbs if one light bulb was removed?

• a) the other light bulbs would go off

• b) the other light bulbs will stay on
