Circuits Quiz

Students constructed a circuit using different colored lightbulbs.

What will happen if switch 3 is closed and all other switches are left open?

• Only the white bulb will operate

• None of the bulbs will operate

• Only the white and yellow bulbs will operate

• Only the red and blue bulbs will operate

A student builds the circuit shown. The student closes Switch 1 and Switch 3. Which lightbulb will glow? Select ONE correct answer.

• L1

• L2

• L3

The circuit has three lightbulbs and a bell. Which procedure will result in only the lightbulbs operating?

• Close Switches 1 and 2 and leave Switch 3 open

• Close Switch 3 and leave Switches 1 and 2 open

• Close Switches 2 and 3 and leave Switch 1 open

• Close Switch 2 and leave Switches 1 and # open
