Physics - Electric Circuits Quiz

What is the main difference between series circuits and parallel circuits?

• Series circuits have multiple loops, while parallel circuits have one big loop.

• Series circuits connect everything in one big loop, while parallel circuits have multiple loops.

• Series circuits do not allow electricity to flow, while parallel circuits.

• Series circuits are made of insulators, while parallel circuits are made of conductors.

What does the term 'closed circuit' refer to?

• A circuit that is broken and does not allow electricity to flow.

• A circuit that has multiple loops.

• A circuit where the path is circular and allows electrons to flow.

• A circuit that is made of insulating materials.

Which of the following materials is a conductor?

• Rubber

• Plastic

• Gold

• Paper

What is the function of a switch in an electrical circuit?

• To increase the voltage in the circuit.

• To open or close the circuit to control the flow of electricity.

• To change the direction of the electron flow.

• To convert electrical energy into light.

What must be true about the orientation of cells in a battery for them to work correctly in a circuit?

• Both cells must point in the same direction.

• Both cells must point in opposite directions.

• One cell must be horizontal and the other vertical.

• The orientation of the cells does not matter.
