How will the total voltage of a string of light bulbs in series change as you add more bulbs to the string?The total voltage will stay the same.The total voltage will decrease.The total voltage will increase.You cannot predict what will happen to the voltage.

When we connect resistors in series the voltage across each of them will follow a different rule, that is, we need to calculate each of them and it depends on the resistance in each resistor and the current through the circuit; but, what we know is that the voltage in each resistor add up to the total supply voltage; therefore, the total voltage will stay the same.
