In this circuit, the bulb(s) that light up are:

• 1 only

• 2 only

• 1 and 2

• None of them

Does this diagram represent a series or parallel circuit?

• series circuit

• parallel circuit

Label which diagram is a series circuit and which is a parallel 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 is divided between the three light bulbs.

If bulb 1 burns out, what will occur?

• bulbs 2 and 3 will go out

• bulbs 2 and 3 receive more volts

• bulbs 2 and 3 will stay lit

• nothing will happen

The fault in this circuit is the:

• Ammeter

• Cell

• Bulb

• There is no fault.
