Circuits Review

What are the two main types of circuits?

• Consecutive and independent
• Series and parallel
• Parallel and sequential
• Single and multiple

What is the function of conducting wires in a circuit?

• To connect components
• To provide energy
• To perform specific tasks
• To create a complete loop

What is the power source in a circuit?

• A switch
• A light bulb
• A motor
• A battery

What happens when a switch is closed?

• The switch converts electrical energy into light energy
• The circuit is complete and electricity can flow
• The circuit is broken and electricity stops flowing
• The switch emits light

What are devices that use electricity to perform specific tasks called?

• Components
• Conducting wires
• Electric currents
• Power sources

What are the components of a circuit?

• Power source, water, electrical devices
• Power source, wires, electrical devices
• Power source, rocks, electrical devices
• Power source, air, electrical devices

What is a closed loop circuit?

• A circuit that is broken
• A circuit that is not connected to a power source
• A circuit that allows electricity to flow
• A circuit that has no wires

How does a switch work to control the flow of electricity in a circuit?

• By breaking the circuit
• By completing or breaking the circuit
• By emitting light when electricity flows through it
• By converting electrical energy into light energy

What is the role of wires in a circuit?

• To control the flow of electricity
• To provide energy for the circuit to work
• To perform specific tasks
• To connect all the components together

What happens if one component in a series circuit stops working?

• The flow of electricity increases
• The entire circuit is interrupted
• The other components can continue to function normally
• The flow of electricity stops in that component only
