c. we may think of a bulb as presenting an obstacle, or resistance, to the current in the circuit. 1. thinking of the bulb in this way, would adding more bulbs in series cause the total obstacle to the flow, or total resistance, to increase, decrease, or stay the same as before. 2. formulate a rule for predicting how the current through the battery would change (i.e., whether it would increase, decrease, or remain the same) if the number of bulbs connected in series were increased or decreased.
