(1) singular circuit.
(2) direct circuit.
(3) series circuit.
(4) parallel circuit.

10. 14. A direct electrical current is different from an alternating current because only the
(1) produces a high voltage.
(2) flows without resistance.
(3) allows the flow of electrons in one direction.
(4) can be converted to other forms of energy.

11. 15. Which of the following circuits will light the bulb?

12. 16. In this diagram if bulb 1 goes out, bulb 2 will
(1) go out because there is only one path for the current to flow.
(2) go out because there are several paths for the current to flow.
(3) stay lit because it is a series circuit.
(4) stay lit because there are several paths for the current to flow.
