Question 15

In a circuit, ____flows from the negative side of the power source, around the circuit, and back to the positive side of the power source

Answer 15

electrons

Question 16

in what kind of circuit is there only one pathway through which electrons can travel. Because of this, if one light bulb goes out in a _____ circuit, any other light bulbs will go out.

Answer 16

series circuit

Question 17

In this kind of circuit, there is more than one pathway through which ____can travel. Because of this, if one light bulb goes out in a ___ circuit, any other light bulbs will stay on.

Answer 17

Parallel circuit….electrons…..parallel circuit

Question 18

Objects with ____charges (one with positive charge and one with a negative charge) will ____.

Answer 18

opposite charges….attract

Question 19

Objects with _____charges (both positive or both negative) will _____.

Answer 19

same charges….repel

Question 20

this has a complete pathway through which electrons can travel through the source to the load and then back to the source.

Answer 20

closed circuits

Question 21

This has an opening in the circuit, so the electrons can’t follow a complete pathway. This type doesn’t let the current to flow.

Answer 21

open circuit.
