Electricity & Circuits

Which of the following describes a characteristic of a series circuit?

All parts of the circuit are connected one after the next. There is at least one power source and at least one receiver.

The following statements are about simple series circuits. Which of the statements is true?

If one component of a series circuit fails, current completely stops flowing.Electrons can only flow along one path in a series circuit.

What will happen to the second light bulb if the first light bulb burns out?

It will also go out.

Look at the parallel circuit below.What will happen to the second light bulb if the first light bulb burns out?`

Nothing will change.

Jared is building an electrical circuit that includes a battery and a lightbulb. He knows that the circuit needs to be a closed loop, so he connects the battery to the lightbulb with a plastic string, then connects the lightbulb back to the battery with another plastic string. He checks to make sure that everything is connected, but the lightbulb does not light. What is most likely the problem with the circuit?

Plastic is not a conductor of electricity.

In a series circuit, electrons only flow along one path. Given this information, which of the following is an advantage of series circuits?

Series circuits are simpler than parallel circuits.

In a closed electrical circuit, what visible evidence indicates that energy is flowing?

a lightbulb lighting up

Which of the materials below would be best to use to complete an electrical circuit?

aluminum foil

A circuit is

the complete path of an electrical current.
