Basic Circuit Exam Review

this circuit is .....?

• open
• parallel
• closed
• The cutest little circuit evah!

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

Which one will still function if one light bulb goes out?

• A-Series
• B-Parallel
• A-Parallel
• B-Seriese

What will happen if one light bulb is removed from this circuit?

• The other bulbs will go out.
• The other bulbs will stay on
• The other bulbs will get dimmer.
• The battery will become stronger.

Pick the correct sentence.

• This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.
• Energy will freely flow in this circuit.
• This circuit will not work because there is no energy source.
• This circuit will not work because there is no switch.

In a parallel circuit which of the following is the same value throughout the circuit?

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Charge

As the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

As resistors are added in series to a circuit, the total resistance will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

What is the total resistance (RT) across this circuit?

• 3 kΩ
• 10 kΩ
• 13 kΩ
• 18 kΩ

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.
