particles are called_______________

3. 2. What does this symbol represent?

4. 3. What does this symbol represent?

5. 4.What type of circuit is this?

6. 5. In what direction do the electric
charges flow?
A B

7. 6 .What type of circuit is this?

8. 7. Would this circuit work if the third
light was burnt? Why or why not?

9. 8.Would this circuit work if the third
light was burnt? Why or why not?

10. 9. What does this symbol represent?

11. 10. Is this a condutor or an insulator?

12. 11. Is this a condutor or an insulator?

13. 12. Is this a condutor or an insulator?

14. 13. Will this circuit work?

15. 14. What would happen if you change
the long wire for a shorter one?
(2 points)

16. Answers
1 Electrons
2 battery
3 lamp
4 parallel
5 B
6 Series
7 Yes, because it’s a parellel circuit. Electrons
have other paths to complete the circuit.

17. Answers
8 No, because it’s a series circuit and the
electrons don`t have any other way to
complete the circuit.
9 switch
10 metalic paper clip: conductor
11 tap water: conductor (agua de la llave)
12 eraser: insulator
13 It won’t work because the circuit isn’t
complete.

18. Answers
14 The light would be brigher. This happens
because wire is a resistor, it uses current and
if we take out the long wire and add a shorter
one more electric current ( formed by
electrons) are going to be available.
