SUMMARY
When lightbulb B is removed from the circuit, the brightness of lightbulbs A and C increases significantly. This occurs because the removal of B eliminates a parallel path for current, allowing more current to flow through A and C. The circuit configuration indicates that A and C are in series with the battery, and their brightness is directly affected by the total current supplied by the battery. Therefore, removing B enhances the overall brightness of A and C due to increased current flow.
