Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.29 Electric Circuits Components and Flow skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Which summary best explains the difference between an open circuit and a closed circuit?
AA closed circuit has a complete path, but an open circuit has a break in the path.
BA closed circuit uses only bulbs, but an open circuit uses only motors.
CA closed circuit must be round, but an open circuit must be square.
DA closed circuit has no battery, but an open circuit has one.
Solution & Explanation:The main difference is whether the path is complete or broken.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A planned illustration shows four small circuit boards. Which board shows an open circuit?
ABoard 1
BBoard 2
CBoard 3
DBoard 4
Solution & Explanation:Board 3 shows a visible break in the connection path, so it is an open circuit.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Wires touch the battery, but the load still does not work. Which reason is most likely?
AThe circuit still has a gap somewhere, so the loop is not complete.
BThe wires touched the battery too carefully.
CThe load works only without wires.
DThe switch must stay open for the load to turn on.
Solution & Explanation:Touching the battery is not enough; the whole circuit must form a complete loop.
