• A battery and a light bulb

• A motor and a switch

In a circuit, which way do the tiny particles (electrons) move?

• From the battery to the light

• From positive to negative

• From negative to positive

• In random directions

What happens when something in a circuit makes it harder for electricity to flow?

• It makes the light brighter

• It increases the current

• It causes resistance

• It speeds up the electrons

What type of current moves in only one direction?

• AC (Alternating Current)

• DC (Direct Current)

• Reverse Current

• Both AC and DC

What device uses a battery to work?

In a parallel circuit, what happens to the flow of electricity?

• It only goes through one path

• It can flow through multiple paths

• It gets blocked

• It stops

What is a battery’s role in a circuit?

• It adds resistance

• It helps the electricity flow

• It controls the flow of current

• It provides power

What is resistance in a circuit?

• The amount of power used

• Anything that makes it harder for electricity to flow

• The speed of the electrons

• The temperature of the wires
