Circuit lab quiz

What type of circuit is shown?

• simple circuit

• parallel circuit

• incomplete circuit

• open circuit

What components are considered loads in this circuit type?

Explain in short answer form what type of circuit this is. Use its circuit name, WHY it IS that type of circuit, and describe it's attributes (parts that make it up). BUILD it in the LAB and switch out the battery for the BIGGER battery. What happens? WHY?

Kinds of Circuits

Groups:

(a) Simple Circuit

,

(b) Series Circuit

,

(c) Parallel Circuit

,

(d) Open Circuit

• at least two load

• One Energy Path

• a flow of electricity (conductor)

• a power sour

• at least two loads

• no flow of electricty

• a flow electricity (conductor)

• any number of loads

• One Energy Pathway

• More than ONE Energy Path

• one power source

• a power sourc

• one flow of electricity (conductor)

• at least one load

• one or more power sources

If you add a ​(n)​ (a)   ​ (b)   ​ to a simple circuit, the circuit will NOT work because they are insulators.

• eraser
• dollar bill
• coin
• paper clip

A __________ is a type of circuit that includes at least two loads (uses energy), has a power source, and has ONE pathway for energy to flow.

What happens when you increase the voltage of the battery in a simple circuit with one lightbulb?

Choose the parts that are used to connect other components in the circuit.

Draw the flow of electricity in this circuit AND label the circuit as OPEN or CLOSED.

Describe this circuit.
