Combination Circuits

Combination Circuits Worksheet

Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. For multiple choice questions, circle the correct option. For fill-in-the-blanks, write your answer on the line provided. For short answer questions, use the lines provided.

1. Which type of circuit combines both series and parallel connections?

2. In a series part of a combination circuit, if one component breaks, what happens to the current flow in that series path?

1. A combination circuit includes both   and   components.

2. In a parallel part of a combination circuit, if one bulb burns out, the other bulbs in that parallel branch will  .

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

2. The total resistance in a combination circuit is always less than the smallest individual resistance.

1. Explain one advantage of using a combination circuit over a simple series or parallel circuit in a real-world application.

2. Draw a simple diagram of a combination circuit with at least one series component and one parallel branch. (You don't need to draw perfect symbols, just show the connections).
