Current in Series and Parallel Batteries

This is an example of a _______ circuit

• open
• series
• parallel
• square

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

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.
