Increases as you add more bulbs to a series circuit

• Resistance

• Current

• Voltage

As you continue to add lightbulbs in series, what happens?

• The bulbs get brighter

• The bulbs get dimmer

• The bulbs remain the same brightness

• The bulbs explode and shards of glass get everywhere

If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, the remaining bulbs...

• also go out

• get brighter

• get dimmer

• explode, leaving shards of glass everywhere

A material in which electrons are able to move easily

• Circuit
• Insulator 
• Resistance 
• Conductor 

This circuit has more than one loop. When one light goes out, the others stay on. 

• closed circuit
• series circuit
• parallel circuit
• open circuit
