Gemma is at home on a rainy afternoon. She notices her family using different electrical appliances: a lamp, a fan, and a rice cooker. She sees that the lamp sometimes gets dimmer when other devices are on, and the fan slows down during a storm.

Voltage is independent of current
Power decreases with higher voltage
Current is directly proportional to voltage
Resistance is inversely proportional to current
Liza loves helping her father repair things at home. One evening, their lamp suddenly stopped working. Her father explained that for the lamp to work, electricity must travel in a complete path from the outlet to the bulb and back. Liza became curious about what this complete path is called and how it allows current to flow. Liza’s lamp suddenly stopped working, so she checked the plug, switch, and wires.

Based on her observation, what can Liza conclude about the condition of the lamp’s circuit?
It has a strong electric field.
It is an incomplete electric circuit.
It has an excess of electric charge.
It has too much electric current flowing.

Liza loves helping her father repair things at home. One evening, their lamp suddenly stopped working. Her father explained that for the lamp to work, electricity must travel in a complete path from the outlet to the bulb and back. Liza became curious about what this complete path is called and how it allows current to flow. Liza's family uses several appliances at once, but only one outlet trips the circuit breaker. Her father says it's because each outlet works independently. Why are most home electrical systems designed as parallel circuits?
To let each appliance work independently
To allow electricity to flow in only one path

To make sure all appliances share the same current
Liza loves helping her father repair things at home. One evening, their lamp suddenly stopped working. Her father explained that for the lamp to work, electricity must travel in a complete path from the outlet to the bulb and back. Liza became curious about what this complete path is called and how it allows current to flow. During her science project, Liza found one wire loose, and the bulb wouldn’t light. She thinks about why the circuit stopped working. What conclusion can Liza make about her circuit?
It is a closed circuit because the switch is off.
It is a short circuit because too much current flows.
It is an open circuit because the path is incomplete.
It is a parallel circuit because current splits into paths.
Two groups built model houses—one used a series circuit, the other a parallel circuit. When one bulb failed, only the parallel circuit kept working. Which circuit design is better for a household system, and why?
Series circuit, because it uses less wire
Parallel circuit, because it uses less electricity overall
Series circuit, because current is stronger in one path
Parallel circuit, because other bulbs keep working when one fails
