Question
choose the correct answer
in this series circuit,
one bulb is burnt out
why do the other two
bulbs go out if one
bulb goes out?
in a series circuit, each bulb acts as a switch
so if one burns out, the others go off
in a series circuit, if one bulb burns out the
other bulbs stay on
In a series circuit, the components are connected end - to - end, forming a single path for the electric current. If one bulb (component) burns out (opens the circuit), the current can no longer flow through the entire circuit. Each bulb is part of the same current path. So, when one fails (like a break in the path), the current stops flowing through all of them.
