Electric Circuit Review

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.

What is a way of moving electricity along a path called?

• electrons

• circuit

• static electricity

Which material is considered a conductor in an electric circuit?

• Rubber

• Copper

• Glass

What is the unit of measurement for electric current?

• Volts

• Ohms

• Amps

Name the part of a circuit using the power.

• Insulator

• Battery

• Load

What kind of circuit is this?

• Series
• Consecutive
• Parallel

What is the function of a resistor in an electric circuit?

• To limit current

• To decrease voltage

• To store energy

Name the circuit which has a current has only one loop to flow through.

• parallel

• series

• complex

What would happen if you disconnect a circuit from the power source?

• The circuit would still be complete

• Electrons would stop flowing and the current would too

• Electrons would flow back and then in the opposite direction
