In a series circuit  with 4 bulbs:

• a switch is never used
• all of the bulbs become dimmer if another bulb is added
• There are many paths for electricity to take
• the remaining 3 bulbs stay lit if one burns out

An example of a conductor is :

• a glass paperweight
• a plastic cap
• a metal screw
• a wooden handle

An ampere is unit of

• temperature
• electric current
• length
• magnetic force

An alternating current:

• Flows in 1 direction only
• turns on and off repeatedly
• flows in one direction only
• reverses direction repeatedly

When you scuff your feet on a rug, electric charges move off you by

• static discharge
• friction
• static discharge
• conduction

What causes current to flow?

• potential difference
• energy
• electricity
• magnetism
