Circuit

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

Which of these best completes the circuit?

• rubber band

• metal nail

• leather shoelace

• wooden toothpick

Would would best complete this circuit?

• A wire

• A switch

• A battery

• A light bulb

A string of lights with small bulbs is shown. The bulbs are connected by a wire that is covered in an insulator. When the lights are on, electricity travels in....

• a closed circuit

• a sound wave

• a light ray

• an open circuit
