A light bulb will glow when electrons flow through it. As the electron flow increases, the brightness increases as well. A student hooks up two circuits containing three light bulbs in each circuit. In one circuit the lights are connected in series and in the other circuit the lights are hooked up in parallel.

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that a light bulb will glow when electrons flow through it. As the electron flow increases, the brightness increases as well. A student hooks up two circuits containing three light bulbs in each circuit. In one circuit the lights are connected in series and in the other circuit the lights are hooked up in parallel.

If you could only see the lights in the circuit and the wires were covered up, how could you tell the type of circuit?

The type of the circuit can be determined if you loose or unscrew one light bulb, all other bulbs will be switched of if connected in series. But if the others remain on it is a parallel circuit.
