Closed and Open Circuits

What kind of circuit is this?

• Open Circuit

• Closed Circuit

An incomplete circuit is shown.
To complete the circuit, a wire should be placed from —

A student began building a circuit to light a bulb.  What else does the student need to produce light?

• a battery that has energy

• a wire that is insulated

• a switch that is open

• another bulb of the same size

What would happen if the switch was opened?

• nothing, the light bulbs would still work because there is a complete path

• The light bulbs would not work because the path was broken

• the battery would loose energy

• the wires would be cooled from air

The on switch shows

• An open circuit where electricity can flow

• A closed circuit that is also called complete

• not related to circuits

• An incomplete circuit that does not allow electricity to flow

A continuous path of conductors that allows electricity to pass through easily is called a(n)...

• Closed circuit

• Double circuit

• Open circuit

• Electric current

Electrical lights will not come on unless their electrical circuit is a --

• parallel circuit

• series circuit

• closed circuit

• short circuit

Will the light bulb in this circuit light and why/why not?

• yes, because it has two batteries

• no, because the switch is open

• yes, because it is in a circuit

• no, because the bulb is burned out

Which statement is true?

• The light bulb will light up because the  circuit is complete.

• The light bulb will light up because the  circuit is broken.

• The light bulb will not light up because the  circuit is complete.

• The light bulb will not light up because the  circuit is broken.
