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.

The current has only has one loop to flow through in this circuit. 

• Series Circuit 
• Parallel Circuit 

Which of the two circuits would have the brightest bulbs? 

• A
• B
