Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Diagrams are provided to help you visualize the circuits.

A combination circuit uses both series and parallel connections. This allows for more complex electrical systems.

1. Which type of circuit has only one path for electricity to flow?

Parallel circuit

Series circuit

Combination circuit

Open circuit

2. In a parallel circuit, if one bulb burns out, what happens to the other bulbs?

They all go out

They stay lit

They get brighter

They get dimmer

3. A combination circuit has parts connected in and parts connected in .

4. In a series part of a combination circuit, if one component fails, the entire breaks.

5. Explain one advantage of using a combination circuit over a simple series or parallel circuit in a household wiring system.

6. All components in a combination circuit receive the same amount of voltage.

True

False

7. If a parallel section of a combination circuit has a break, the series section will still function.

True

False
