What is a Closed Circuit ?

• An electrical circuit that is not complete (device is OFF)

• An electric circuit with only ONE path

• An electric circuit with 2 or more paths

• An electrical circuit through which current can flow in an uninterrupted path (the device is ON)

What distinguishes a Parallel Circuit from a Series Circuit?

• A Parallel Circuit has only ONE path, while a Series Circuit has 2 or more paths.

• A Parallel Circuit allows electricity to travel through it, while a Series Circuit does not.

• A Parallel Circuit has 2 or more paths, while a Series Circuit has only ONE path.

• A Parallel Circuit is a substance that allows electricity to pass through, while a Series Circuit is a substance that does not.

What is the function of a Switch in an electrical circuit?

• An electrical safety device that can stop current from flowing if it becomes overloaded

• The source of energy in an electrical circuit

• A substance that does not allow electricity or heat to easily pass through

• A device for making and breaking the connection in an electrical circuit

What is a Fuse used for in an electrical circuit?

• A device for making and breaking the connection in an electrical circuit

• The source of energy in an electrical circuit

• An electrical safety device that can stop current from flowing if it becomes overloaded, creating an incomplete circuit

• A substance that allows electricity or heat to easily pass through it
