this is due by 11.00 pm send some help pls!!!!

Your science teacher presents you with a circuit model that contains five light bulbs, a switch, and a 1.5-volt battery. The wires of the circuit are hidden from your view so that you cannot see how the bulbs are connected to the battery. How could you determine the type of circuit used in this model?
A.
If all the bulbs are equal brightness, it is a series circuit because each bulb in a series circuit has the same resistance.

B.
If all the bulbs are equal brightness, it is a parallel circuit because each bulb in a parallel circuit has its own path to the battery.



C.
If you unscrew one bulb and all the others stay lit, it is a parallel circuit because each bulb in a parallel circuit has its own path to the battery.



D.
If you unscrew one bulb and all the others stay lit, it is a series circuit because each bulb in a series circuit have to share the same current.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

PLACING BULBS IN SERIES

Increasing the number of bulbs decreases the brightness of the bulbs.

The resistance increases.  In a series circuit, adding bulbs increases the resistance in the circuit. A complete circuit requires the electrons to move from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal.  When one bulb is unscrewed it opens the circuit preventing a complete circuit and the electrons cannot return to the battery.

PLACING BULBS IN PARALLEL

Two bulbs in parallel are brighter than two bulbs in series.   In a parallel circuit each bulb is in its own circuit.  As bulbs are added the resistance in the circuit decreases since each circuit is another pathway for electrons to move from one end of the circuit to the other.
