(5.6B) Types of Electric Circuits

What is the relationship between an electrical circuit and a current? 

• A current flows along the electrical circuit. 

• The current is the electrical circuit

• An electrical circuit flows inside a current. 

What are the needed parts of simple circuit. 

• energy source (battery cell)

• Switch

• Conductor (wire) 

• Load/Component/Outlet (bulb) 

What happens to the brightness of the first bulb when the second bulb was added? 

• The first bulb became brighter

• The first bulb did not change

• Both of the bulbs went out

• The first bulb became dimmer

What happens when the working bulb is replaced with a burned out bulb? 

• there was no change 

• The first bulb became dimmer 

• The first bulb became brighter 

• Both of the bulbs are not working

What happens to the brightness of the first bulb when the second was added? 

• The first bulb became brighter 

• The first bulb became dimmer 

• The first bulb did not change

• The first bulb stopped working. 

what happens when the working bulb is replaced with a non working bulb? 

• Both of the bulbs stop working

• The first bulb stays the same

• the first bulb gets brighter

• The first bulb gets dimmer

What statement is correct? 

• Series circuit has multiple pathways and parallel circuit has one pathway

• Both parallel and series ciruits have multiple pathways. 

• Parallel circuit has multiple pathways and series circuit has one pathway

Which statement is correct. 

• Both parallel and series lights stay the same when lights are added. 

• In a parallel circuit adding bulbs does not effect the brightness in a series circuit the the lights get dimmer when more lights are added. 

• In a series circuit adding bulbs does not effect the brightness in a parallel circuit the the lights get dimmer when more lights are added. 

An advantage of a series circuit is that it has multiple pathways allowing lights to shine even with broken lights. 

• False

• True

True or False: A disadvantage of a series circuit is that all outputs share the current

• False

• True
