How does increasing the number of batteries in a series circuit affect the electric current?

• It decreases the electric current and voltage

• It has no effect on the electric current and voltage

• It increases the electric current and voltage

• It reverses the direction of the electric current

Explain how the arrangement of the parts in a parallel circuit affects the brightness of the lightbulbs

• The lightbulbs will be just as bright as in a series circuit because there are the same number of lightbulbs

• The lightbulbs will be just as bright as in a series circuit because each lightbulb has its own connection to the battery.

• The lightbulbs will be brighter than in a series circuit because each lightbulb has its own connection to the battery.

• The current is zero in a parallel circuit.

• How many paper clips are there in total?

• What is the color of the paper clips?

• How does the voltage of the battery affect the magnetic force?

• What is the shape of the magnet?
