Kyra James Electrical Quiz

Which circuit has only one path to and from the power source?

• Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

Parallel circuits can have paths so if one is broken, the current can continue using a separate path

What component is used to resist the flow of current in a circuit?

• Resistor

• Capacitor

• Inductor

In which type of circuit are components connected alongside one another, forming multiple paths for current?

• Series Circuit

• Parallel Circuit

In a series circuit, if one component fails, how does it affect the circuit?

• The circuit continues to operate without interruption.

• The entire circuit stops working.

Which material is considered the best conductor of electricity?

• Silver

• Copper

• Gold

• Aluminum

What is the function of a switch in a closed circuit?

• To break the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity

• To increase the voltage in the circuit

• To decrease the resistance in the circuit

What happens to the current in an open circuit?

• It increases significantly

• It stops flowing

• It flows intermittently

• It remains constant

Why is an open circuit considered non-functional?

• Because it allows current to flow uncontrollably

• Because it prevents any voltage from being applied

• Because it interrupts the continuous flow of current

• Because it reduces the resistance to zero

What is a common symptom of an open circuit in household wiring?

• The lights flicker but stay on

• Appliances operate at higher speeds

• Electrical devices do not turn on at all

• Electric shock when touching devices
