Electricity and Circuits

Label the circuit

• closed circuit
• complete circuit
• incomplete circuit
• working circuit

A light bulb will shine brighter when

• An extra light bulb is added to the circuit
• An additional battery is added
• A smaller battery is used
• The switch is open in the circuit

A complete circuit is an open circuit

• True
• False

• Circuit is open
• Circuit is closed 
• circuit has a complete path for electricity to flow
• This doesn't have to do with a circuit

• This is a series circuit, one path to flow
• This is a parallel circuit, more than one path to flow
• This is an incomplete circuit
• This is a simple circuit

• Series circuit
• Parallel circuit
• open circuit
• not a circuit

What would happen if the switch was opened?

• nothing, the light bulbs would still work because there is a complete path
• The light bulbs would not work because the path was broken
• the battery would loose energy
• the wires would be cooled from air

All of the following are forms of energy you can create in a circuit EXCEPT

• thermal and light
• mechanical and sound
• light and mechanical
• sound and solar

The on switch shows

• An open circuit where electricity can flow
• A closed circuit that is also called complete
• not related to circuits
• An incomplete circuit that does not allow electricity to flow

This circuit

• has one path for electricity to flow
• has two paths for electricity to flow
• has three paths for electricity to flow
