Current has units: 

• kilowatt·hour 
• ampere 
• coulomb 
• volt 

Which best describes a parallel circuit?

• Electricity flows along one pathway.
• The flow of electricity comes from one source. 
• Electricity flows along more than one pathway. 
• The flow of electricity comes from more than one source. 

What kind of circuit is this?

• series
• parallel

What type of circuit is the image showing?

• Parallel

• Series

• No circuit

Voltage is simply defined as...

• what 'pushes' electrons
• what 'stops' electrons
• moving electrons

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 is divided between the three light bulbs.

In a parallel circuit which of the following is the same value throughout the circuit?

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance
• Charge
