The correct answer is d
• We know this is a parallel circuit because there is more
than one route for the electrons (current) to take
The correct answer is a
• The reason the answer is a is because it is a parallel
circuit, therefore a switch at 2 would only turn off
the first light bulb and a switch at 3 or 4 would only
turn off the second light bulb
The correct answer is b
• This is the correct answer because we need to
complete the series circuit reconnecting the light bulb
to the battery
The correct answer is d
• All circuits must contain a wire, a load, and a
source of emf
The correct answer is a
• In a series circuit, if one load is
broken/disconnected then all loads go out
The correct answer is d
• We learned that batteries are powered by
chemical reactions, which in turn power the
electrical energy, which is used to shine the
light
