Parallel and Series

In a parallel circuit, if we remove one of the light bulb, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will stay on.

• The other light bulb will be off

• Both light bulb will be on

• Both light bulb will be off

If we add more light bulbs into a parallel circuit, how will the brightness of the bulbs change?

• It will get dimmer

• It will get brighter

• The brightness will stay the same

• None of the light bulb will be on

If one of the light bulb in series circuit is taken off, what will happen to the other light bulb?

• The other light bulb will be on

• The other light bulb will be off

• The other light bulb will stay on

• Both light bulb will be on

This is an example of a _______ circuit

• open

• series

• parallel

• switch

This is an example of a ______ circuit

• Series

• Parallel

• Open

• Dihexihedral

Does this statement best describe a parallel or a series circuit.
 
When more light bulbs are added they all remain bright.

• Parallel circuit

• Series circuit

As you continue to add lightbulbs in series, what happens?

• The bulbs get brighter

• The bulbs get dimmer

• The bulbs remain the same brightness

• The bulbs explode and shards of glass get everywhere

If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, the remaining bulbs...

• also go out

• get brighter

• get dimmer

• explode, leaving shards of glass everywhere

If the switch was opened, what would happen?

• the ammeter would measure a current flowing

• current would no longer flow, so everything would be off

• the bulbs would stay on because they're connected to the cell

• the bulbs would burn out and catch fire
