Electric Circuits Quiz

What is necessary for electricity to move around the circuit?

• A complete loop without any breaks

• A switch that is always turned off

• A light that is always on

• A battery that is not connected

What happens when a switch is turned on in an electric circuit?

• The light goes off

• The circuit is broken

• The light turns on and completes the circuit

• The battery is disconnected

What can switches do in an electric circuit?

• Prevent electricity from moving around the circuit

• Increase the speed of the electrons

• Purposefully break the circuit

• Generate electricity

What is the role of the battery in the electric circuit?

• It heats up the wires

• It provides a path for the electricity

• It pushes out electrons from the negative end and pulls them towards the positive end

• It breaks the circuit loop

How does a resistor affect an electric circuit?

• It increases the overall flow of electricity

• It decreases the amount of electricity that can flow through the circuit

• It generates additional electricity

• It has no effect on the circuit

What is the purpose of a capacitor in an electric circuit?

• To store and release electricity as needed

• To convert electricity into light

• To break the circuit loop

• To increase the speed of electrons

What effect does a diode have on an electric circuit?

• It allows electricity to flow in both directions equally

• It prevents any electricity from flowing

• It allows electricity to flow in only one direction

• It converts AC to DC
