Questions and Answers

In a parallel circuit, what happens if one bulb goes out at any point in the circuit?

  • Only the bulb next to the one that went out goes out
  • All bulbs go out
  • The rest of the bulbs stay lit (correct)

  • What is the flow of electrons in a series circuit?

  • From negative terminal to positive terminal of the battery, through both bulbs
  • From positive terminal to negative terminal of the battery, through both bulbs
  • From negative terminal to positive terminal of the battery (correct)
  • From positive terminal to negative terminal of the battery
  • What happens to the brightness of the bulbs in a series circuit if one bulb goes out?

  • The remaining bulbs get dimmer
  • All bulbs get brighter
  • All bulbs stay at the same brightness
