Complete electrical circuit

Series circuit

Bulbs are connected next to each other in a row and there is only one pathway which allows electricity to pass through

Brightness of the bulbs in a series circuit

If more bulbs are connected in a series circuit, the dimmer the bulbs will be

Effect on other bulbs if one bulb is fused in a series circuit

If one of the bulbs is fused, the other bulbs will not light up because the circuit is not complete
