What is a circuit?

• A constant flow of electricity 
• A path that a current can flow along

How many types of circuits are there?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What type of circuit is shown?

• Parallel

• Series

• Open

The circuit on the right is complete (the light is on) because:

• the switch is closed

• the switch is open

• the battery is hot

• the battery is red

Which of the following devices measures current in an electric circuit?

• an ammeter

• an ohmmeter

• a voltage meter

• a resistor

In a closed circuit, how does battery voltage affect current?

• As voltage increases, current increases.

• As voltage increases, current decreases.

• Voltage has no affect on current.

• If voltage exceeds current, a short circuit circuit will develop.

In a standard series circuit, the voltage is the same everywhere in the circuit.

• True

• False

Which of the following correctly states relationship between voltage, resistance, and current in a circuit?

• Current is directly related to voltage but inversely related to resistance.

• Current is directly related to both voltage and resistance.

• Current is inversely related to both voltage and resistance.

• Current is directly related to voltage but is not affected by resistance.
