Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations.

1. Which of the following is a component that provides electrical energy in a circuit?

2. In a series circuit, what happens if one bulb burns out?

1. The flow of electric charge is called  .

2. A material that allows electricity to flow easily through it is a  .

3. The component that resists the flow of current in a circuit is called a  .

1. In a parallel circuit, if one path is broken, current can still flow through other paths.

2. Voltage is the opposition to the flow of electric current.
