If there is a break in a series circuit with light bulbs, what will happen?

• No current will flow and no light will be produced.

• Current will flow from the positive end of the battery and all bulbs before the break will light up.

• Current will flow from the negative end of the battery and all bulbs before the break will light up.

How is the total resistance in a series circuit calculated?

• Just add them up

• By adding the reciprocal of their resistances and taking the reciprocal of that

• There is no such thing as total resistance in a series circuit

More resistors in a series circuit will use up more current.

• True

• False

Current is the same everywhere in a series circuit.

• True

• False

There is more current at the beginning of a series circuit than at the end of the circuit.

• True

• False

Resistors with more ohms will cause a greater voltage drop than those with less ohms.

• True

• False
