Electrical Circuit

What is a series circuit?

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

• A series circuit is a circuit where the components are connected in parallel

• A series circuit is a circuit where the components do not affect each other's operation

• A series circuit is a circuit where the components are not connected in a single path

Explain the concept of a parallel circuit.

• A parallel circuit is a circuit where the components are connected in a way that reduces voltage.

• A parallel circuit is a circuit where the components are connected in a way that allows the current to flow through multiple paths.

• A parallel circuit is a circuit where the components are connected in a way that increases resistance.

• A parallel circuit is a circuit where the components are connected in a way that allows the current to flow in only one direction.

In which direction does electricity flow in a circuit?

• In a circular motion

• From negative to positive terminal

• From positive to negative terminal

• In a zigzag pattern

Name three common components found in an electrical circuit.

• Diodes

• Transformers

• Transistors

• Resistors, capacitors, inductors

What is the difference between an open and a closed circuit?

• An open circuit does not allow electricity to flow, while a closed circuit allows electricity to flow.

• An open circuit has a physical break, while a closed circuit has no breaks.

• An open circuit allows electricity to flow, while a closed circuit does not.

• An open circuit is always safe, while a closed circuit is dangerous.

Draw the circuit symbol for a battery.

• The circuit symbol for a battery is a rectangle with a long line on top and a short line on the bottom.

• A square with a zigzag line

• A circle with a line through the center

• A triangle with a line on top

How does a series circuit differ from a parallel circuit?

• A series circuit has components connected in a random order, while a parallel circuit has components connected in a specific order.

• A series circuit has components connected wirelessly, while a parallel circuit has components connected through wires.

• A series circuit has components connected in a single path, while a parallel circuit has components connected in multiple paths.

• A series circuit has components connected in multiple paths, while a parallel circuit has components connected in a single path.

Identify the circuit symbol for a resistor.

• Zigzag line

• Straight line

• Curved line

• Circle

What happens when a circuit is open?

• The circuit becomes invisible

• The circuit overheats

• No current flows through the circuit.

• The circuit short circuits

Describe the flow of electricity in a closed circuit.

• Electricity flows from the power source through the wires to the components and back to the power source in a closed circuit.

• Electricity flows from the power source to the components and then to the ground

• Electricity flows from the power source to the components and gets lost in the circuit

• Electricity flows from the components to the power source in a closed circuit
