Where is the best place to put an ammeter in the circuit to measure the current going through the light bulb?
Since (by Kirchoff's current law) the current in a series circuit is the same at every point in the series circuit, it does not matter where you place the ammeter.
This circuit is a series circuit because?
the same current flows through both light bulbs
As charge flows in a circuit some electrical energy always change to what energy?
light energy :) ANSWER: THERMAL ENERGY
What happens when a circuit is not complete?
a complete circuit is a circuit through which a current can flow(see closed circuit)A complete circuit is almost like a circle. Energy flows through this circle in order to make the light bulb light.A circuit that has a power source, a load such as a light or motor to power and a ground point.A complete circut is a circut with no gaps.
Does the bulb light up in a parallel circuit?
The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.

What is the effect if a bulb is broken in a parallel or series circuit?
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not light.
Why does removing one bulb from a string of lights in a series circuit cause all the light to go out?
In a series circuit there is only one path through every component in the circuit. Breaking that path by removing a bulb will stop the current flow...all lights go out.
What is necessary to have energy flow through a circuit?
Light heat or sound
What is the difference in parallel circuit and series circuit?
In a series type circuit, the electric current passes through each element of the circuit (light bulb or whatever) in sequence; it does not reach any element until it has first passed through all the earlier elements. In a parallel type circuit, every element of the circuit receives its electric current independently. A separate wire connects each element to the source of the current rather than to the previous element of the circuit.
What does an led do in an electronic circuit?
the function of an led is to give of light coming through an electrical circuit
What gives out a light if an electric current flows through it?
A light bulb in an electric circuit when electricity reaches it.

When an electric charge is passed through a gas what is created?
light
What describes electricity flowing from a battery through a switch to a light bulb?
A circuit
Why does the light turn on as soon as you flip the lightswitch?
The light is connected in a electrical circuit. The electricity will only pass through the circuit if the circuit is closed. A switch can open and close this circuit by simply not making contact with the next wire so the electricity can not be passed on. When you turn on the switch, the circuit gets closed again and the electricity will run through, so to the light. Because electricity has the speed of light (+-300 000 km/h) it will seems like the electricity reaches the light immediately. Plus the neutral travels through the filement of the bulb and down the switch wire giving an instant closed circuit when switch is closed
