Series and Parallel Circuits

#1) Sort each description in to either "Series Circuit" or "Parallel Circuit." Series Circuit One pathway If you remove one light bulb, the rest will go out. Adding resistance decreases current. When a new light bulb is added, the others dim. Parallel Circuit Two or more pathways Adding resistance increases current. When a new light bulb is added, the others stay the same or brighten. If you remove one light bulb, the rest stay on. #2) Which pictures show series circuits?*You should select two (2.) #3) Which pictures show parallel circuits?*You should select two (2.) #4) Will current increase or decrease when voltage and resistance are added to the circuit? Fill in the chart with either "increases" or "decreases." increases increases decreases increases #5) What are three necessary parts of any circuit? wire, form of resistance, power source wire, diodes, transistors two electrodes and an electrolyte metal, wire, power source #6.) What is the relationship between voltage and current? Current depends on voltage. Voltage depends on current. There is no relationship. #7.) Which of the following statements is true? A circuit represents the transformation of potential energy (current) into kinetic energy (voltage.) A circuit represents the transformation of potential energy (voltage) into kinetic energy (current.) A circuit represents the transformation of potential energy (voltage) into potential energy (current.) A circuit represents the transformation of kinetic energy (voltage) into kinetic energy (current.)
