What is one problem with using a series circuit?

• It has a lot of series.

• It doesn't work properly.

• All the electrical components are controlled by one switch.

• There are no problems.

What happens if a switch is left open in a series circuit

• 1 bulb will go out

• 2 bulbs will go out

• All the bulbs will go out

What energy transformation happens in a bulb?

• Electricity is transformed into light when the wire inside the bulb gets hot.

• Light is transformed into thermal energy.

• Thermal energy in the bulb is transformed into electrical energy.
