Looking at the table, we need to fill in the missing information for each row based on the circuit diagram shown.
Let’s go row by row:
---
Row 1:
- Circuit Diagram: Shows 2 batteries and 2 light bulbs connected one after another — this is a
series circuit.
- Parts of the circuit: Already says “2 of batteries, 2 of light bulbs, 2 of light bulbs” — that seems like a typo. It should probably be “2 of batteries, 2 of light bulbs, 1 of switch” or similar. But since it's already filled, maybe we ignore that.
- Open or Closed Circuit? The switch is open (line not connected), so current cannot flow →
Open Circuit
- Parallel or Series Circuit? Bulbs are in a single path →
Series Circuit
Wait — looking again, the switch is drawn as open (gap in line). So no current flows. That makes it an
open circuit.
But let’s check the other rows to see the pattern.
---
Row 2:
- Diagram: 2 batteries, 2 bulbs, switch is closed (connected) → current can flow →
Closed Circuit
- Bulbs are in one path →
Series Circuit
Already filled correctly.
---
Row 3:
- Diagram: 2 batteries, 2 bulbs, switch is open →
Open Circuit
- Bulbs are side-by-side → two separate paths →
Parallel Circuit
Already filled correctly.
---
Row 4:
- Diagram: 2 batteries, 2 bulbs, switch is closed →
Closed Circuit
- Bulbs are side-by-side →
Parallel Circuit
Already filled correctly.
---
So the only missing part is
Row 1, specifically:
- “Open or Closed Circuit?” → Since the switch is open, it’s
Open Circuit
- “Parallel or Series Circuit?” → Even though the switch is open, the wiring shows bulbs in a single path →
Series Circuit
Also, the “Parts of the circuit” column for Row 1 says “2 of batteries, 2 of light bulbs, 2 of light bulbs” — that’s redundant. Probably meant to say “2 of batteries, 2 of light bulbs, 1 of switch”. But since it’s already written, and the question doesn’t ask us to fix it, we’ll leave it.
Actually, looking closely at the image, in Row 1, the switch is drawn with a gap — definitely open. And the bulbs are in series.
So for Row 1:
→ Open or Closed Circuit? →
Open Circuit
→ Parallel or Series Circuit? →
Series Circuit
That matches the pattern of the other rows.

Final Answer:
For Row 1: Open Circuit, Series Circuit
