- 4. Multiple Choice
If the switch was opened, what would happen?
the ammeter would measure a current flowing
current would no longer flow, so everything would be off
the bulbs would stay on because they're connected to the cell
the bulbs would burn out and catch fire
- 5. Multiple ChoiceThe 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.

- 11. Multiple Choice
This is an example of a _______ circuit
open
series
parallel
switch
- 12. Multiple ChoicePick the correct sentence.This circuit will work because it is a closed circuit.Energy will freely flow in this circuit.This circuit will not work because there is no energy source.This circuit will not work because there is no switch.
