Series Circuit

As you continue to add lightbulbs in series, what happens?

• The bulbs get brighter

• The bulbs get dimmer

• The bulbs remain the same brightness

• The bulbs explode and shards of glass get everywhere

If one bulb goes out in a series circuit, the remaining bulbs...

• also go out

• get brighter

• get dimmer

• explode, leaving shards of glass everywhere

Ohm's Law?

• Still works!

• Out the window!

• Not familiar!

• Laws are meant to be broken!
