Series and Parallel Circuits Worksheet

parallel circuit

“See the difference?” Leo said proudly. “In a , if the pump burned out, the bee-bot and lights would still work because they have their own separate paths. But if the main line from the battery breaks—like that chewed wire—everything goes dark.”

Total Resistance:

The more components you add, the harder it is for electricity to flow. series and parallel circuits worksheet grade 8

Use the word bank: [Parallel, Series, Open Circuit, Short Circuit, Load, Current] (3 marks) A student builds a series circuit with two bulbs

In a series circuit, if one light bulb breaks... a) All other bulbs stay on. b) All other bulbs go out. c) The battery explodes. Lower Resistance: Adding more paths actually makes it

  1. (3 marks) A student builds a series circuit with two bulbs. The bulbs are dim. What two things could the student do to make the bulbs brighter without changing the battery?

Lower Resistance:

Adding more paths actually makes it easier for the total current to flow.
