Practical Activity 1) Series Circuit. A) One Bulb
1) Series circuit.
a) One bulb.
Build a simple series circuit with one bulb, and set the power source
to 6V.
Draw your circuit in your books.
Measure the current on either side of the bulb and record your
results.
Two bulbs.
Build a simple series circuit with two bulbs. Keep the power source
set at 6V.
Draw your circuit in your books.
Measure the current on either side of the bulbs and record your
results.
Based on the results you collected, state a rule about current in a
series circuit.
2) Parallel circuit.
Build a simple parallel circuit, with one bulb in each branch. Keep the
power source set at 6V.
Measure the current as it leaves the power source and as it returns,
and measure it in the branches. Record your results.
Based on the results you collected, state a rule about current in
parallel circuits.
