Question 11 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

What is an advantage of series circuits?

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

Explanation

Adding batteries in series increases the total voltage. With the same circuit resistance, the higher voltage produces more current, so the circuit can power its components more strongly. A series circuit has only one path for charges, and if one bulb goes out, the others do too, so B and C describe parallel circuits instead.
