If light bulb A burns out, what will happen?

light bulbs B and C will continue to work

light bulb B will still work but C will not

none of the light bulbs will work

light bulb C will still work but B will not

If light bulb A burns out, what will happen?

light bulbs B and C will continue to work

light bulb B will work, but C will not

light bulb C will work, but B will not

How many 2 Ω resistors would have to be placed in parallel to equal 1 Ω?

It's not possible to create 1 Ω with 2 Ω resistors

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

The same current flows through all three light bulbs.

The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

In a parallel circuit if one of the light bulbs burns out the rest _________.

of the light bulbs burn out also

Which of the following answer choices correctly describes the image?

Parallel circuit - Bulbs are lit

Parallel circuit - Bulbs are off

Pick the correct sentence.

This circuit will not work because there is no energy source.

This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.

Energy will freely flow in this circuit.

This circuit will not work because there is no switch.

Which best describes a parallel circuit ?

Electricity flows along more than one pathway.

Electricity flows along one pathway.

The flow of electricity comes from one source.

The flow of electricity comes from more than one source.

What are the problems with using a series circuit ?

If one load (i.e. light bulb) goes down, they all go down!

If you add a load to the circuit, the electric potential energy of each electron leaving the battery is shared between the loads.

If one load (i.e. light bulb) does down, the other loads still get supplied with electrons.

If you add a load to the circuit on a new branch, the electric potential energy of each electron leaving the battery is the same on each branch and therefore for each load.

Does this statement best describe a parallel or a series circuit? When more light bulbs are added to the circuit, all the light bulbs dim because the voltage or the electric potential energy of each electron leaving the battery is split between the lights (loads).

applies to both series and parallel circuits

How many path(s) does an electron have to follow in a parallel circuit ?

has more than one path for current to travel

has only one path for current to travel

does not allow electricity to travel through it

In a parallel circuit which of the following values is split among the loads based on the number of branches or pathways in the circuit?

Current (the rate of flow (speed) of electrons)

Voltage (the electric potential energy of the electrons)

Resistance (opposition to the movement of electrons)

Does this statement best describe a parallel or a series circuit? When more light bulbs are added to this circuit, they all remain bright because the voltage or the electric potential energy of each electron available to each light bulb (load) is the same as the voltage or electric potential energy of each electron leaving the battery.

applies to both series and parallel circuits

In a series circuit which of the following values decreases as you add more loads (light bulbs) to the circuit? (Think, what do loads do to electrons in order for an energy conversion to occur?)

Current (the rate of flow (speed) of electrons)

Voltage (the push behind the electrons)

Resistance (opposition to the movement of electrons)
