15. What type of circuit is shown in the picture below?

16. Simple circuit
B 100

17. What is a circuit that has a break in the pathway of negative charges?

18. Open circuit
B 200

19. What causes a circuit to be considered open?

20. There’s a break in the pathway so the negative charges can’t flow.

21. Name a device that opens or closes a circuit.

C 400

32. What prevents people from getting shocked when touching an electric cord or plug?

33. The copper wire is covered with plastic that acts as an insulator.

34. Are ceramics insulators or conductors of electricity?

35. Insulators
C 500

36. Who invented the first light bulb?

37. Thomas Edison
D 100

38. Which type of light bulb produces more heat than light, gets very hot, and is expensive to use?

39. Incandescent bulb
D 200

40. Name the long, thin wire coil inside an incandescent bulb that is made of tungsten.

41. filament
D 300

42. What light bulb gives off ultraviolet light?
D 400

43. Florescent light bulb
D 400

44. Give one reason why a florescent light bulb is better than an incandescent light bulb.

45. Florescent light bulbs cost less to operate, produce less heat, and are good for the environment because they don’t waste energy.
D 500

46. When a switch is turned on, you close a circuit
When a switch is turned on, you close a circuit. Does this make the circuit complete or incomplete?
E 100

47. complete
E 100

49. Copper wire
E 200

50. Name a circuit that has more than one path for electricity to follow.

51. Parallel circuit
E 300

52. What causes the crackle you hear when you touch a doorknob after rubbing you feet across a carpet?

53. Electric discharge of static electricity

54. When an electrical circuit is open, is the switch on or off?

55. off
E 500

Look at the image below. Explain the difference between image A and image B. A B
Click on screen to continue

58. Click on screen to continue
Image A is a series circuit. There is only one path for the electric charges to follow. If one bulb is removed, neither bulb will light.
Image B is a parallel circuit. There is more than one path for the electric charges to follow. If one bulb is removed, the other bulb will still light.
