Parallel & Series Circuit Quiz Review

True or False? Current electricity is the movement of electrons which created the flow of electricity.

• True

• False

A parallel circuit __________.

• has MORE THAN ONE conducting path for electrons to flow.
• is where current flows through all devices in ONE single conducting path.

A series circuit __________.

• has MORE THAN ONE conducting path for electrons to flow.
• is where current flows through all devices in ONE single conducting path.

A conductor __________.

• is where current flows through all devices in one single conducting path.
• is made from material that allows electrical energy.

An insulator __________.

• is where current flows through all devices in one single conducting path.
• is made from material that prevents the flow of electrons.

A circuit with ONE path.

• Series

• Parallel

A circuit with a current that flows through multiple devices.

• Series

• Parallel

If you add a light bulb to a SERIES circuit,

• both bulbs become brighter

• both bulbs become dimmer

• One buld will have all the brightness, the other will be dark

If you unscrewed one of the bulbs in a closed series circuit, what would happen to the other bulbs in your circuit?

• Turn off

• Stay lit

TRUE OR FALSE: With a series circuit, if one device goes out they all stay on.

• True

• False
