Series and Parallel Circuits

The picture shows an electrical circuit. This circuit is a series circuit because: 

• It has 3 light bulbs.
• The same current flows through all three light bulbs.
• It uses a single battery.
• The electrical current is divided between the three light bulbs.

What will happen if one light bulb is removed from this circuit?

• The other bulbs will go out.
• The other bulbs will stay on
• The other bulbs will get dimmer.
• The battery will become stronger.

• Series circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Series circuit - Bulbs are off
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are lit
• Parallel circuit - Bulbs are off

This circuit does not work because…

• the bulbs are not connected properly
• the single cell is not powerful enough
• there is a break in the circuit
• there is a short crcuit
