Electricity and Circuits

Will the light bulb in this circuit light and why/why not?

• yes, because it has two batteries
• no, because the switch is open
• yes, because it is in a circuit
• no, because the bulb is burned out

Which light will be brighter and why?

• Bulb A because its circuit is closed
• Bulb B because its circuit is closed
• Bulb B because it has more volts
