Electric Circuit Lab Check out (Session 1)

What is a series circuit?

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in a single loop, so the current flows through each component in sequence.

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in a random order, so the current flows in unpredictable paths.

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are not connected to each other, so the current does not flow.

• A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are connected in parallel, so the current flows through each component simultaneously.

What is a parallel circuit?

• An electrical circuit that has no path for the current to flow.

• An electrical circuit that has only one path for the current to flow.

• An electrical circuit that has multiple paths for the current to flow.

• An electrical circuit that has multiple sources of current.

What is an open circuit?

• A circuit that allows current to flow freely without any resistance.

• A circuit that is closed and allows current to flow continuously.

• A circuit that has a break or gap in the path of current flow.

• A circuit that has a high voltage and can cause electric shock.

What is a closed circuit?

• A closed circuit is a complete and unbroken path for an electric current to flow.

• A closed circuit is a circuit that does not allow any current to flow.

• A closed circuit is a circuit that only allows direct current to flow.

• A closed circuit is a path that is open and broken for an electric current to flow.

In a series circuit, what happens to the current if one bulb goes out?

• The current increases.

• The current stops flowing.

• The current decreases.

• The current remains the same.

• Circuit is now open.

In a parallel circuit, what happens to the brightness of the (Lamps)bulbs if one lamp goes out?

• The Current of the other bulbs Changes.

• The brightness of the other Lamps is less.

• The brightness of the other Lamps decreases.

• The brightness, current and voltage of the other lamps remains the same.

• To control the flow of electric current

• To generate electricity

• To store electric current
