A Parallel circuit contains more than one path for electricity to travel through.

• True

• False

Pick the correct sentence.

• 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 energy source.

• This circuit will not work because there is no switch.

One of the advantages of _________ circuits is that they ensure all components in the circuit have the same voltage

as the source.For instance, all bulbs in a string of lights have the same brightness.

• open

• multiple

• series

• parallel

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

• stop the flow of electricity

• will go out

• can still light up

What type of circuit is this picture?

• parallel

• series

• open

In a parallel circuit, if one component fails, what happens to the rest of the components?

• All components stop working

• The rest of the components continue to work

• The circuit becomes open

• The voltage drops to zero

Which of the following is a characteristic of a parallel circuit?

• Current is the same through all components

• Voltage is the same across all components

• Resistance is the same across all components

• Power is the same across all components
