Circuit Review

What is a circuit?

• A circuit is a type of switch used in electrical systems.

• A circuit is a device that measures electrical current.

• A circuit is a term used to describe the flow of water in a plumbing system.

• A circuit is a closed loop or path through which an electric current can flow.

What are the three basic components of a circuit?

• battery, resistor, switch

• source, conductor, load

• input, output, processor

• wire, diode, capacitor

What is the purpose of a switch in a circuit?

• To amplify electricity.

• To store electricity.

• To control the flow of electricity

• To generate electricity.

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

• The main difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit is the way the components are connected.

• A series circuit has only one path for current flow, while a parallel circuit has multiple paths.

• In a series circuit, the voltage across each component is the same, while in a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component may be different.

• A series circuit has a higher total resistance compared to a parallel circuit.

What is the role of a resistor in a circuit?

• The role of a resistor in a circuit is to increase the flow of electric current and boost voltage levels.

• The role of a resistor in a circuit is to generate magnetic fields and induce current in nearby conductors.

• The role of a resistor in a circuit is to store electric charge and release it when needed.

• The role of a resistor in a circuit is to limit the flow of electric current and control voltage levels.
