Series

What kind of circuit is this?

• series

• parallel

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.

A series circuit has how many pathways for the electrons to flow?

• Two

• One

• Many

• Zero

In a series circuit, if one receiver is disconnected, nothing will work.

• true

• false

Main disadvantage of series circuit is that if flow of current breaks in one part whole circuit may

• break

• split

• fuse

• demolish

This circuit is easy to repair and less likely to overheat

• open circuit

• closed circuit

• parallel

• series

• Potassium

In the reactivity series, which metal is the least reactive?

• Gold

• Potassium

What can you say about the current in the series circuit?

• it splits across the components

• it changes constantly

• it is different in different places

• it is the same everywhere

If the ammeter says the current is 5A, what is the current flowing through one bulb?

• 2.5A

• 10A
