This is the symbol for a ..................?

• single cell

• bulb

• battery

• switch

This circuit is ...........................?

• open

• parallel

• closed

• the cutiest little circuit ever!

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

• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

• It has 3 light bulbs.

• The same current flows through all threelight bulbs.

• It uses a single battery

This type of circuit only has one path for current to flow.

• parallel

• combination

• split

• series

Which best describes a parallel circuit?

• Electricity flows along one pathway.

• The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.

• Electricity flows along more than one pathway

• The flow of electricity comes from one source.

What is one problem with using a series circuit?

• If one device goes down, they all go down!

• It doesn't work properly.

• It has a lot of series.

• There are no problems.

What is one benefits of using a parallel circuit?

• It gets confusing.

• There are no problems.

• If one goes down, it does not affect theothers.

• It has no benefits
