A group of students is building the circuit represented in the diagram.

What object can be used at Position X for the buzzer to sound when switch K is closed?

• A power source

• An insulated wire

• Another bulb

• Another switch

A student wants to make a change to the circuit shown below so that when Switch 1 is open and Switch 2 is closed, only one light will be on in the circuit.

Which diagram shows how the student should change the circuit?

A student constructs the circuit shown for a science demonstration. With the switches in these positions, which lights are on?

• All the lights

• Lights 1 and 2 only

• Lights 3 and 4 only

• None of the lights

A student builds a circuit allowing the lightbulbs to light, the buzzers to make sound, and the motor to turn.

Which two switches can be open and still allow all of the parts to work?

• Switches 1 and 3

• Switches 1 and 4

• Switches 2 and 3

• Switches 3 and 4

A student wants to build a circuit with four lightbulbs and one bell. The student wants to place a switch in the circuit so that only one light will still be on and the bell will still ring when the switch is opened.

Which of these circuits should the student build?
