A student connects a light bulb to a battery and causes it to light up. Which of the following observations would the student make if he replaced the first battery with a higher-voltage battery? Assume resistance is constant.

• A greater number of electrons would flow through the light bulb each second and each electron would have more energy.

• The same number of electrons would flow through the light bulb each second, but each electron would have more energy.

• The same number of electrons would flow through the light bulb each second, and each electron would have the same amount of energy.

• A greater number of electrons would flow through the light bulb each second and each electron would have the same amount of energy.
