Answer :
To analyze Jasmine's note card, we must carefully evaluate whether each point properly belongs in the "Advantages" or "Disadvantages" column in the context of series circuits:
1. Evaluation of each point:
- Point (1): "They are simple to design and build."
- This is an advantage of series circuits, as their simplicity in design is a positive feature.
- Point (2): "Each source of current used adds more current to the circuit."
- In a series circuit, adding more sources (like batteries) increases the total current, which is beneficial because it can increase the power available. Thus, this point should be considered an advantage.
- Point (3): "The more bulbs are added, the dimmer the bulbs are."
- This is a disadvantage of series circuits, as the brightness of bulbs decreases with more bulbs being added due to shared current.
- Point (4): "If one bulb goes out, all bulbs go out."
- This is also a disadvantage, as it indicates that the circuit's functionality is entirely disrupted if a single component fails.
2. Correct placement:
- Points (1), (3), and (4) are correctly placed in the "Advantages" and "Disadvantages" columns.
- Point (2) is mistakenly placed in the "Disadvantages" column but should be in the "Advantages" column since it's beneficial for a series circuit to have increased current as more sources are added.
3. Conclusion:
- To correct the error on Jasmine's note card, point (2) must be moved from the "Disadvantages" column to the "Advantages" column.
Thus, the necessary change to correct the error on Jasmine's note card is:
moving point (2) into the Advantages column.
