Simple Electric Circuit

A path along which electric charges can flow

• 
  Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

• Circuit

• Conductor

What is a Parallel circuit? 

• Has only one path 

• Has more than one path 

• 
  Allows energy to travel through easily 

• Has only one light bulb

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.

• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

• It uses a single battery.

• 
  It has 3 light bulbs.

In a parallel circuit which of the following is the same value throughout the circuit?

• Resistance

• Current

• Charge

• 
  Voltage

What will happen if one light bulb is removed from this circuit?

• 
  The other bulbs will go out.

• 
  The other bulbs will get dimmer.

• The other bulbs will stay on

What kind of circuit is this?

• parallel

• 
  series

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

• Point A to Point D

• Point B to Point D

• 
  Point B to Point C

• 
  Point D to Point C

Which circuit (s) are parallel?

• B and C

• A

• A and B

• C

What is Voltage?

• 
  Rubber, styrofoam, cotton

• A material that allows heat and electricity to flow through it

• A material that stops heat and electric current from flowing

• 
  The energy available to move charges through a circuit

what is this symbol for?

• 
  2 cell battery
