As the resistance of a circuit increases, the current will...

• increase
• decrease
• stay the same

Does this statement best describe a parallel or a series circuit.
 
When more light bulbs are added they all remain bright. 

• Parallel circuit
• Series circuit

What is a benefit of using a parallel circuit?  

• It gets confusing.
• There are no problems.
• If one light goes out, it does not affect the others. 
• If one light goes out, they all go out. 

What is one problem with using a series circuit? 

• It has a lot of series. 
• If one light goes down, they all go down! 
• It doesn't work properly.
• There are no problems.
