A student makes two circuits, P and Q, using batteries, bulbs, switches, and connecting wires. Which circuit will not produce light?

• Circuit P because the switch is open

• Circuit Q because the wires are too thin

• Circuit P because the battery is too large

• Circuit Q because the circuit is open

What happens if a switch on a simple circuit is open?

• The electrical current continues flowing through the circuit.

• The electrical current stops flowing through the circuit.

• Light energy transforms to electrical energy.

• Electrical energy transforms to light energy.

A student observes one bulb is missing from a single circuit with many bulbs. When the student connects the lights to electricity, what will likely happen?

• The bulbs will not light up as electrical energy completes its path in the circuit.

• The bulbs will light up as electrical energy completes its path in the circuit.

• The bulbs will not light up as electrical energy does not complete its path in the circuit

• The bulbs will light up as electrical energy does not complete its path in the circuit.

Which item converts electrical energy into light and heat energy when added to a circuit?

• fan

• light bulb

• phone charger

• radio
