Electric Circuits

What is the primary purpose of an electric circuit?

• To provide a route for electricity to power devices and systems

• To act as a gatekeeper for the flow of electricity

• To store chemical energy and convert it into electrical energy

• To prevent overloads by interrupting excessive current

What role does a switch play in an electric circuit?

• It acts as a gatekeeper for the flow of electricity

• It stores chemical energy

• It provides multiple paths for current to travel

• It melts and breaks the circuit if the current exceeds a safe level

What is a characteristic of a parallel circuit?

• It allows electricity to flow through different branches simultaneously

• It acts as a gatekeeper for the flow of electricity

• It stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy

• It contains a thin wire designed to melt and break the circuit

What is the function of a fuse in an electric circuit?

• To melt and break the circuit if the current exceeds a safe level

• To provide a source of electrical energy

• To allow electricity to flow through different branches

• To act as a gatekeeper for the flow of electricity

What is the role of a battery in an electric circuit?

• To provide a source of electrical energy

• To act as a gatekeeper for the flow of electricity

• To prevent overloads by interrupting excessive current

• To allow electricity to flow through different branches
