What is a series circuit?
A circuit in which there is 2 or more paths for electrons to flow.
A circuit in which there is ONLY 1 path for electrons to flow.
A circuit where there is 0 paths for the electrons to flow.
I don't know
What is a parallel circuit?
A circuit that has two or more paths for current to flow through.
The current has 0 paths to flow in
The current only has 1 path to flow in.
I don't know.
What is a resistor?
How we measure the sound of something.
How we measure the power of something in a circuit.
Part of an electrical circuit that resists, or limits, the power of an electrical current in a circuit.
Part of an electrical circuit that doesn't resist or limit the power of an electrical current.
In a series circuit, which of the following is true?
Only has 1 pathway for the electrons to flow.
Has 2 or more pathways
The current is the same throughout the whole circuit.
If one bulb fuses in this type of circuit, then the whole circuit is incomplete.
In a parallel circuit, which of the following is true?
Has 2 or more paths for the electrons to flow.
If one bulb fuses in this type of circuit, then the rest will stay lit up.
Current is the same throughout the whole circuit.
Has 1 pathway to flow.
In the image, what do the wavy lines represent?
Current flowing through the circuit
A power source like a battery
A device like a light bulb.
Things that connect the circuit together.
In the image above, what do the straight lines represent?
Things that connect the circuit together.
A device like a light bulb
Current that flows through the circuit.
A power source like a battery
True or False?
In a series circuit, the current is the same throughout the circuit.
True
False
TRUE OR FALSE?
In a parallel circuit, the current is the same throughout the whole circuit.
True
False
Which of the following is NOT a circuit
Series Circuit
Parallel Circuit
T-Shirt Circuit
Electric Circuit
Which of the following examples is like a series circuit?
Light Switch
Microwave
Control Panel
TV Remote
Which of the following is a parallel circuit?
Refrigerator
Wiring in a house
Freezers
Well Water
What is a downside for Parallel Circuits?
Only one Path for currents
The voltage stays the same
The light bulbs will light up with same brightness
If a fuse blows out it will cause chain reaction
What is a downside of series circuits?
Voltage stays the same
It has multiple paths
If one of the bulbs blow out the rest will stay lit
If one bulb blows out the rest will blow out with it. This is because it becomes an open circuit.
Which of the following best explain what a circuit is?
A circuit is a loop that is not closed
A circuit is a loop with only one path way
A circuit is a closed loop that has multiple paths
A closed loop electrons can travel through
