Parallel Series

• Bulbs are in parallel - Circuit X is brighter than Circuit Y
• Bulbs are in parallel - Circuit Y is brighter than Circuit X
• Bulbs are in series - Circuit X is brighter than Circuit Y
• Bulbs are in series - Circuit Y is brighter than Circuit X

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series

• Consecutive

• Parallel

• Training

Does this statement best describe a parallel or a series circuit.
 
When more light bulbs are added they all remain bright. 

• Parallel circuit

• Series circuit

• Series circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Series circuit - Bulbs are off
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are off

Which circuit(s) are parallel?

• A

• A and B

• B and C

• C

In a parallel circuit, if one bulb burns out, what happens to the other bulbs?

• All other bulbs will also burn out.

• All other bulbs will become brighter.

• All other bulbs will stay lit at the same brightness.

• All other bulbs will turn off but not burn out.

What is a parallel circuit?

• A circuit where the components are connected end-to-end in a single path for the current to flow.

• A circuit where the components are connected across common points or junctions, creating multiple paths for the current.

• A circuit that can only have resistors in parallel.

• A circuit that can only operate at one voltage level.

In a parallel circuit if one light bulb goes OUT; then they ALL go out. TRUE OR FALSE?

• TRUE

• FALSE

A parallel circuit

• has only one path for current to travel

• has more than one path for current to travel

• does not allow electricity to travel through it

• has magnets that cause electric current

Does a break in one branch affect another branch in a parallel circuit?

• Yes

• No

• Sometimes
