Circuits Grade 5-6

What is an open circuit?

• A circuit where there is a continuous flow of current.

• A circuit where there is no resistance to current flow.

• A circuit where there is a short circuit.

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

A closed circuit allows electricity to flow: True or False?

• False

• True

• Sometimes

• Maybe

In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, what happens to the others?

• The other components will also fail.

• The other components will repair themselves.

• The other components will explode.

• The other components will continue to function normally.
