Series Circuits

What is a circuit?

• The path of magnetic fields
• The arrangement of batteries in a device
• The route electricity follows in loop
• The path of least resistance

If you increase the total voltage in a circuit how will it affect the light bulb? 

• The light bulb will stay the same
• It will burn out
• The bulb will get brighter
• It will get dimmer

What is a series circuit?

• The transfer of electrons from one object to another
• A circuit with a single path the current follows
• A circuit that goes in multiple directions
• A circuit that takes place in a series of events

What happens when you add a second bulb to a series circuit?

• The first bulb gets brighter
• The second bulb will be as bright as the first because they both get full power
• The circuit will no longer work
• Both bulbs will be half as bright because the voltage is divided by two now
