• False

When should you put the batteries in your circuit?

• After the entire circuit is fully assembled.

• At the first step of building your circuit.

• Whenever is fine.

What is an open circuit?

• A circuit with all components connected in series

• A circuit with too much current flowing through it

• A circuit with no power source

• A circuit where there is a break in the continuity, preventing the flow of current.

Always use at least one circuit load component when building a circuit.
