Working together using this wiki

 

Think of this wiki as a shared online whiteboard. Our entire class can share information using this wiki, making your ideas accessible to everyone. Click on the questions below.  It will take you to a new page to type your answers.  If someone else has already answered before you, your job is to add to what they have said.

 

 

 

1 What is a conductor?

 

 

1 What are insulators?

 

 

2 What is a parallel circuit?

 


2 How does a parallel circuit work?

 

 

 

3 What is a series circuit?

 

 

3 What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

 


4 What is an open circuit?

 

 

4 Why do both bulbs go out when you remove one on a series circuit?

 

 

5 How does an insulator stop a current?

 

 

5 What are the parts of a circuit?

 

 

6 If two bulbs were connected and one went out, how could the other one stay on?

 

 

6 What is the relationship between a conductor and electricity?

 

 

7 What does a switch do?

 

 

7 What if I said my Christmas lights were on a parallel circuit? What would that mean?

 

 

8 Why do parallel circuits light even if one light burns out?

 

 

8 How does a circuit break if you take part of it out?

 

 

9 What if I had 3 lightbulbs and I took one out. Would the third one still work?

 

 

9 If a series circuit can make one light go out and make the rest go out, why can't a parallel circuit?

 

 

10 What changes would you make to correct an open circuit?

 

 

10 Based on what you know about electricity and circuits, explain how to design a simple circuit

 

 

11 How can you make a bulb on a circuit brighter?
