• Only LED 1 will produce light.

Part 1. Paulie builds this circuit for a fan and a heater. His teacher challenges him to change the design to meet these criteria: The design allows the heater to work only when the fan is on, and the heater can be shut off so only the fan works. Paulie comes up with these four possible design changes. Which design changes MEET the criteria? Select TWO Answers

• Design A

• Design B

• Design C

• Design D

Look at the two circuit diagrams. In the circuit on the left, the light bulb is lit up. In the circuit on the right, the light bulb is not lit up. Why is the light bulb on the right not lit up?

• The circuit is missing a switch.

• The filament is broken, so the circuit is closed.

• The circuit needs more batteries.

• The filament is broken, so the circuit is not a complete loop.
