Electrical Circuits: Series and Parallel Circuits Assessment

What is a series circuit?

• A circuit with multiple paths for electrons to flow.
• A circuit with one path for electrons to flow.
• A circuit with no paths for electrons to flow.
• A circuit where current can disappear.

What happens in a parallel circuit if one light bulb goes out?

• All the bulbs go out.
• The other bulbs stay on.
• The other bulbs get dimmer.
• The circuit stops working.

What is one thing series circuits are known for?

• They have multiple paths for current.
• They have only one path for current.
• They make bulbs brighter with more resistors.
• They always have the same voltage everywhere.

In a series circuit, what happens to the brightness of the bulbs when more bulbs are added?

• They get brighter.
• They stay the same.
• They get dimmer.
• They flicker.

What is an advantage of parallel circuits?

• They use less energy.
• They keep working even if one part fails.
• They always have the same resistance.
• They make current disappear.

How does current behave in a series circuit?

• It changes at each component.
• It stays the same throughout.
• It stops in the middle.
• It only flows at the start.

What happens to resistance in a parallel circuit when you add more paths?

• It increases.
• It decreases.
• It stays the same.
• It doubles.

What type of current is found in homes?

• Direct Current (DC)
• Alternating Current (AC)
• Neutral Current (NC)
• Reversed Current (RC)

What happens to voltage in a series circuit?

• It is the same across all components.
• It is divided across components.
• It increases with each component.
• It does not change.

What happens to the current in a parallel circuit when more devices are added?

• It decreases.
• It increases.
• It stays the same.
• It stops.
