_____________ electricity is the build-up of an electrical charge on the surface of an object. The charges stay in one place and do not flow to another area.

• Static

• Current

• Circuit

• Battery

Which statements are true about a parallel circuit? (Select the TWO best answers.)

• This is a circuit that allows an electric current to flow along more than one path.

• This is a circuit that allows only one path for the flow of electricity.

• This type of circuit will not work if one or more light bulbs go out.

• This type of circuit will work if one or more light bulbs go out.

What is the purpose of a switch in an electric circuit?

• to change the direction of the electricity

• to allow the electric circuit to be opened or closed

• to provide a "push" for the electricity

• to increase the electric power of the bulb

Metal is __________________ because it allows heat and electricity to flow through.

• magnetic

• a conductor

• an insulator

• a circuit
