Circuits & Electricity Quiz

What is electrical current?

• The resistance to charges

• The flow of static electricity

• The build up of charges

• The flow of electrical charges

What is a closed circuit?

• A circuit with multiple paths

• A complete, unbroken circuit

• A circuit with no electricity

• A circuit with a break

What does a switch do in a circuit?

• Increases the resistance

• Stops the current

• Turns the current on and off

• Slows down the current

What is the difference between electrical current and static electricity?

• Charges flow through currents, while they build up in static electricity

• Charges flow in static electricity, while they build up in currents

• Charges flow in both currents and static electricity

• Charges do not flow in either currents or static electricity

What happens if a circuit is open?
