Current and Circuits Review

In a Closed Circuit ...

• The circuit is complete and electric energy flows through the circuit

• The circuit is not complete and electric energy flows through the circuit.

• The circuit is not compelte and no electric energy flows through the circuit.

• The circuit is compelte and no electric energy flows through the circuit.

In a Open Circuit ...

• The circuit is compelte and no electric energy flows through the circuit.

• The circuit is complete and electric energy flows through the circuit.

• The circuit is not complete and no electric energy flows through the circuit.

• The circuit is not complete and electric energy flows through the circuit.

Voltage is the electrical potential energy ______ between two places on a circuit.

• Difference

• Equal

• Transformed

• Light

Direct current is ...

• Electric current that flows in one direction

• Electric current that doesn't go anywhere

• Electric current that changes direction in a regular pattern

• Energy that happnes when you move.

What happens when you flip on the switch for a light?

• The electrical source turns on.

• The circuit closes, and the electric current flows to the light.

• The circuit opens, and electric current flows to the light.

• Electric current is transferred from a different load to the light.

The ____________ is the energy that flows from the battery, through the wire in it’s path through the circuit.

• Electric Current

• Conductor

• Electromagnet

• Insulator

A flow of electrons through a conductor is called:

• A river

• A spark

• An electron flow

• A current

An electric current always flows in a closed path, or loop.

• True

• False

A closed path along which an electric charge can flow.
