A light bulb is attached to a DC battery as indicated in the diagram below. The light
bulb is glowing and emitting light.
Bulb
Battery
B.
Which is the BEST explanation for what happens to the electric current in the wire?
The electric current flows through both wires and the light where it is used up.
The electric current flows around the circuit and nothing is removed by the light
so that the amount of current in the two wires is the same.
The electric current flows through one wire to the light where some of it is used
up. The remaining electric current flows through the other wire back to the
battery.
OThe electric current flows through wire A from the battery to the light bulb
which uses up all the electricity. Wire B is not needed,
