Intro to Electricity 3rd Qrtr Benchmark

The pathway through which electrical current flows

• Electric Circuit

• insulator

• Flows

• Electromagnet

Part of a circuit that can cause the electric flow to start and stop is known as a

• Series Circuit

• Switch

• Parallel Circuit

• Generator

An incomplete or broken circuit.

• Closed Circuit

• Open Circuit

• Cracked bulb Circuit

In a circuit, the (a)   can slow the ​ (b)  

• resistor
• voltage
• current
• source of electric current

The total resistance in this circuit is 

• 100 ohms
• 450 ohms
• 400 ohms
• 30 ohms

The total current through this circuit is

• 0.02 amps
• 0.09 amps
• 50 amps
• 9 amps

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

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

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

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

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.
