A circuit contains a battery, a switch, and a bulb connected in series. The bulb does not light even though all components work. The ammeter is connected in parallel with the bulb, and the voltmeter is connected in series with the bulb. Why does the bulb not light?
- The ammeter and voltmeter are connected the wrong way round in the circuit.
- The bulb must be faulty and needs to be replaced.
- The battery has no voltage so no current can flow.
- The switch is connected in series and should be in parallel.
