How does flipping a light switch off stop the light from illuminating the room?

• The switch stops the flow of the electric current

• The switch increase the flow of the electric current.

• The switch sends the electric current somewhere else.

• The switch absorbs the electric current instead of sending it to the light.

If lightbulb #2 burned out in the circuit what would happen to the remaining bulbs?

• They get brighter.

• They get dimmer.

• They remain the same.

A student sets up this electrical circuit but then realizes that turning off one light turns off all the lights. In order for each light to be turned on the students should convert into a

• series circuit.

• parallel circuit.
