1. What happens to the other light bulbs in a series circuit if one light bulb burns out?
They all remain lit.
They get brighter.
They all go out.
Only the one next to it goes out.
2. In a series circuit, how does the total resistance relate to the individual resistances of the components?
It is less than the smallest individual resistance.
It is the sum of the individual resistances.
It is the average of the individual resistances.
It is equal to the largest individual resistance.
