To make a simple series circuit to light a bulb, the simplest components are a power source (such as a battery); a switch (to turn the power on or off); the bulb (obviously !); and some wires to connect everything together.

What is the current through each light bulb in a series circuit?
it remains same i=voltage/total resistance
What happens when one light bulb goes out in a series?
The failed bulb breaks the circuit so no current can flow - so the other bulb goes out (but is OK).
What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?
it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.
What job does a bulb do in a circuit?
The bulb converts energy from the power source into light and heat. It is the load in the circuit.
What happens when a light bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit?
All other light bulbs will turn off due to the series circuit being broken. The electrons cannot travel all the way through, hence the current will also not flow in the circuit, switching off all the other bulbs too.CommentIt's worth pointing out that the full supply voltage will then appear across the lamp holder -so take care!
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light a bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
If a light bulb is missing in a series circuit will the bulb light?
If one light bulb in a series circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will go out, until the failed bulb is replaced and the series circuit is completed again.If one light bulb in a parallel circuit fails, all the other light bulbs will still work.
What components do you need to make a simple series circuit to light on bulb?
You need a Battery, Light Bulb, Ammeter, Switch.
What do amps do in a series circuit?
The amps (ampiers) decrease when in a series circuit ( with a light bulb)
What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
How is a Series circuit used everyday?
A light switch is in series with the light bulb it controls.
What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
The circuit will have the flow of electricity interrupted.
When you connect a battery and a bulb and one will not light what is your circuit?
series
How does the brightness of each bulb in a parallel circuit compare to the brightness of the bulb in a series circuit?
u see the light bulbs on a series circuit's brightness evolves and the brightness on a parallel's circuit dont
An example series circuit might be what?
A voltage or current source in series with a circuit breaker or fuse in series with a switch in series with a light bulb.
If two light-bulbs are connected in a series circuit and one of the light-bulb's current flowing is 0.5 A what is the current flowing in the other light-bulb?
Current in a series circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Voltages are additive. Voltage in a parallel circuit is the same throughout the circuit. Currents are additive.
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.
