In a parallel circuit if one light bulb goes OUT; then they ALL go out. TRUE OR FALSE?

• TRUE
• FALSE

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current has more than one path to flow through

In a Series circuit the more lightbulbs you add the brighter they get 

• False 
• True 

What is a Parallel circuit? 

• Has only one path 
• Has more than one path 
• Allows energy to travel through easily 
• Has only one light bulb

What is a switch's function in a circuit?

• to make the current hotter or colder
• turn on and off the flow of current
• the pathway that current flows
• to add more power to the circuit

wood is a _____?

• conductor
• insulator

• Circuit
• Insulator 
• Resistance 
• Conductor 

A material in which electrons are not able to move easily 

• Circuit 
• Insulator 
• Resistance 
• Conductor

This circuit has more than one loop. When one light goes out, the others stay on. 

• closed circuit
• series circuit
• parallel circuit
• open circuit
