Series and parallel circuits

Why do the lamps stay lit up in a parallel circuit when one lamp stops working?

• Because the lamps are connected in a series

• Because each lamp has its own circuit with the battery

• Because the strength of electricity is shared between the lamps

• Because the battery is shared between the lamps

Why do the lamps stay lit up in a parallel circuit when one lamp stops working?

• Because the lamps are connected in a series

• Because each lamp has its own circuit with the battery

• Because the strength of electricity is shared between the lamps

• Because the battery is shared between the lamps

Why do the lamps shine more brightly in a parallel circuit compared to a series circuit?

• Because the battery is weaker in a parallel circuit

• Because the full strength of electricity goes to each lamp in a parallel circuit

• Because the lamps are connected in a series circuit

• Because the strength of electricity is shared between the lamps in a parallel circuit

What happens when you unscrew one lamp from a series circuit?

• The circuit breaks

• The other lamp does not light up

• The other lamp lights up with the same brightness

• The strength of electricity increases

What happens when you unscrew one lamp from a parallel circuit?

• The other lamp lights up with the same brightness

• The other lamp does not light up

• The strength of electricity decreases

• The circuit breaks

What is a series circuit?

• A circuit with alternating current

• A circuit where the electric current has only one path

• A circuit with multiple paths for current flow

• A circuit with no components

What is the advantage of a parallel circuit over a series circuit?

• It is easier to set up

• It consumes less power

• It requires less voltage

• If one component fails, others continue to work

What is the main difference between a series and parallel circuit?

• Number of components

• Resistance provided

• Number of paths for current flow

• Voltage used

This is an example of a -------- circuit.

• Series

• Parallel

• Combination

In this circuit, the bulb(s) that light up are:

• 1 only

• 2 only

• 1 and 2

• None of them
