Question

The top left statement says: The same current flows through each bulb in the circuit.

The top right statement says: There is the same voltage across each bulb in the circuit.

These are my predictions.

Series= Same I/Current, V's add

Adding a bulb in series increases the resistance, decreasing the current for a constant voltage, thus bulb dimmer when another bulb is added

Removing a bulb in series does not necessarily mean the circuit will be open, depends on whether the socket is left there?

Parallel= Same V, I/Current add

Adding a bulb in parallel decreases equivalent resistance, meaning current increases for constant voltage, thus bulb is brighter when bulb added

A path is still open when a bulb is removed from the circuit in parallel, current still flows even, if the socket of the removed bulb was removed

Am I correct in my thinking?

Part D From the following statements, identify those that are always true about simple series circuits or always true about simple parallel circuits as shown in Figure 4) The bulbs in the circuits do not have the same resistance (i.e., RA RB Rc). Drag each item to the appropriate bin. If an item does not describe a simple series or simple parallel circuit, drag it to the "neither" bin. Reset Help Always true about simple Always true about simple Neither series circuits parallel circuits I each bulb in the circuit. each bulb in the circuit. Adding a bulb makes the other bulbs Adding a bulb makes the other bulbs dimmer. brighter. Removing a bulb stops the current Removing a bulb does not stop the flow throughout the circuit. current flow throughout the circuit.

Explanation / Answer

yes your all precdictions are right except one which is

> removing a bulb in series connection the circuit will break and

current can not circulating across circuit. (In Normal cases)

so stop the current flow throught the circuit.
