Circuits Review 1

What happens if one component fails in a series circuit?

• The entire circuit continues to work normally.

• The entire circuit stops working because the path is broken.

• Only the failed component stops working, others remain functional.

• The circuit will work intermittently.

What is a circuit diagram?

• A visual representation of an electrical circuit, using symbols to represent components and connections.

• A type of software used for designing electrical systems.

• A document that outlines the specifications of electrical components.

• A method for measuring electrical current in a circuit.

What is a circuit?

• A circuit is a closed path through which electric current flows.

• A circuit is a device that stores electrical energy.

• A circuit is a type of electrical insulation material.

• A circuit is a method of measuring electrical resistance.

What is a light bulb in a circuit?

• A device that converts electrical energy into light energy when current flows through it.

• A component that stores electrical energy for later use.

• A tool used to measure electrical current in a circuit.

• A switch that controls the flow of electricity in a circuit.

What are the two main types of circuits?

• Series circuits and parallel circuits

• Open circuits and closed circuits

• Direct circuits and alternating circuits

• Complex circuits and simple circuits

What is a switch?

• A device that can open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of electricity.

• A type of electrical outlet used for connecting devices.

• A tool used for measuring electrical current.

• A component that stores electrical energy.

What is a series circuit?

• A circuit where all components are connected in a single path, allowing current to flow through one component to the next.

• A circuit that has multiple paths for current to flow, allowing for parallel connections.

• A circuit that only allows current to flow in one direction, preventing reverse flow.

• A circuit that uses a transformer to step up or step down voltage.

What happens if one component fails in a parallel circuit?

• The entire circuit stops working.

• The other components can still operate because there are multiple paths for the current.

• The current will only flow through the failed component.

• The voltage across the circuit will drop to zero.

What is a parallel circuit?

• A circuit where components are connected in a single path, allowing only one route for the current.

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

• A circuit that only allows current to flow in one direction.

• A circuit that has no components connected, resulting in no current flow.

What is a conductor?

• A material that allows electric current to flow easily, such as copper or aluminum.

• A material that resists the flow of electric current, like rubber.

• A device that stores electric charge, such as a capacitor.

• A type of circuit that generates electricity from motion.
