What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel
• Training

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current has more than one path to flow through

In a Series circuit the more lightbulbs you add the brighter they get 

• False 
• True 

What is a Parallel circuit? 

• Has only one path 
• Has more than one path 
• Allows energy to travel through easily 
• Has only one light bulb
