Consider the circuit in the diagram below.If the switch at the top is moved to the closed or on position, what would you expect to happen to the light bulb? The light bulb would light up and stay constant. The light bulb would gradually brighten. The light bulb would light up and gradually dim. The light bulb would flash on and then immediately shut off.

Solution
Without a diagram, it's difficult to provide an accurate answer. However, generally speaking, if a switch in a simple circuit containing a light bulb is closed (turned on), the light bulb would light up and stay constant. This is because closing the switch completes the circuit, allowing current to flow from the power source to the light bulb. The brightness of the light bulb would depend on the power of the source and the resistance in the circuit. It would not gradually brighten or dim unless there were components in the circuit designed to cause this effect, and it would not flash on and then immediately shut off unless there was a fault in the circuit.

For a class project, Jerome builds a simple circuit with a battery and three light bulbs. On his way to school, Jerome drops his project and breaks one of the light bulbs. He has no time to fix or replace the bulb, so he removes the broken bulb and turns in his project. What will happen when Jerome runs current through his circuit?A If Jerome built a series circuit, both remaining bulbs will still light up.B If Jerome built a parallel circuit, both remaining bulbs will still light up.C If Jerome built a series circuit, only the remaining bulb closest to the battery will light up.D If Jerome built a parallel circuit, only the remaining bulb closest to the battery will light up.
Janet installed a dimmer on the lights in her bedroom. She slid the dimmer switch up, causing the resistance in the circuit to decrease. Assuming the voltage is constant, what effect will Janet’s actions have on the circuit? The voltage will increase from 120 to 240 volts. The lights will brighten. The current will decrease. The current will increase. The lights will dim.
