Students constructed a circuit using different-colored lightbulbs. What will happen if Switch 3 is closed and the other switches are left open?

• Only the white bulb will operate

• None of the bulbs will operate

• Only the white and yellow bulbs will operate

• Only the red and blue bulbs will operate

The diagram shows an electric circuit with four bells that a student plans to build. When the student connects the wire as shown, which of the bells will ring?

• Bell 1 only

• Bells 1 and 4 only

• Bells 3 and 4 only

• Bells 1, 2, 3, and 4

A student builds a circuit made up of a battery, two light bulbs, and a switch. What will the student most likely observe in this circuit?

• Light bulb 1 will be off, but light bulb 2 will be on

• Light bulb 1 and light bulb 2 will both be off

• Light bulb 1 will be on, but light bulb 2 will be off
