In a simple series circuit, what happens to all the other light bulbs if one light bulb burns out and creates an open circuit?

A They become brighter due to increased voltage.
B They continue to glow with the same brightness.
C They all go out because the circuit is broken.
D Only the bulbs closer to the power source go out.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

In a series circuit, there is only one path for the electrical current. If one component, like a light bulb, breaks or burns out, it creates an open circuit, stopping the flow of electricity to all other components in the series.
