This is the symbol of which electrical device?
A light bulb
An resistor
An electrical cell
A switch
This is the symbol for a(n) ..................?
single cell
bulb
battery
AC current source
The picture shows an electric circuit. This is a series circuit because:
The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.
It has 3 light bulbs.
The same current flows through all threelight bulbs.
It uses a single battery
This type of circuit only has one path for current to flow.
parallel
combination
split
series
Which best describes a parallel circuit?
Electricity flows along one pathway.
The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.
Electricity flows along more than one pathway
The flow of electricity comes from one source.
What is one problem with using a series circuit?
If one device goes down, they all go down!
It doesn't work properly.
It has a lot of series.
There are no problems.
What is one benefits of using a parallel circuit?
It gets confusing.
There are no problems.
If one goes down, it does not affect theothers.
It has no benefits
Does this diagram represent a series or parallel circuit?
