Question 4 • Physical Science

What is an advantage of series circuits?

Answer
A
If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs still shine.
B
Adding more batteries will increase the current.
C
There is more than one path for charges to flow.
D
Light bulbs get dimmer as more bulbs are added.

Explanation

In a series circuit, adding batteries increases the voltage supplied to the circuit, which can increase the current. A series circuit has only one path for charges, so if one bulb goes out, the others go out too; adding bulbs also tends to make them dimmer. Therefore, “Adding more batteries will increase the current” is the advantage described.
