A student builds a circuit made up of a battery, two light bulbs, and a switch. What will the student most likely observe in this circuit?

• Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be on

• Light bulb 1 will be off, but light bulb 2 will be on

• Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be off

• Light bulb 1 will be on, but light bulb 2 will be off

The diagram shows a series circuit with three lit bulbs. How many of the bulbs will remain lit if the wire is cut a the point shown by the arrow?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

A string of lights with small bulbs is shown below. The bulbs are connected by wire that is covered in an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels in....

• a complete circuit

• a sound wave

• a light ray

• an incomplete path

In the picture, if you replace the paper clip with a plastic spoon, what happens? 

• The bulb doesn't light
• The bulb is dimmer
• The wires get hot
• There is no charge

Why is electrical wiring usually made from copper?

• Because copper is shiny

• Because copper conducts electricity

• Because copper is not magnetic

• Because copper insulates electricity

If the wire is cut at point X, how many bulbs will be lit?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

Is this a working circuit?

• Yes

• No

• I'm not sure, I would need to test it myself.
