    This document provides learning objectives and instructions for an experiment comparing voltage in series and parallel circuits. The objectives are to draw circuit diagrams for parallel circuits and describe how they differ from series circuits. Students are asked to predict whether the voltage will be the same across bulbs in series vs. parallel circuits. The document outlines building series and parallel circuits with 3 bulbs each and measuring the voltage across each bulb to record in a results table.

    What happens if you


    turn switch 1 on
    upstairs?
    What happens if you
    then walk downstairs
    and flick switch 2?
    Where and why
    would this kind of
    parallel circuit be
    useful?

    Hypothesis
    Is the voltage the same across
    bulbs in series circuits as
    compared to parallel circuits?
    Write this out in your books and
    then write a prediction as to
    what you think the answer
    might be.

    Voltage

    Voltage is a measure of the


    difference inelectrical
    energybetween two parts of a
    circuit. The bigger the difference
    in energy, the bigger the voltage.

    Build a series circuit with three bulbs, copy it into your


    book.
    Measure the voltage across the first bulb. Make a
    note of the reading in your results table.
    Carry on and measure the voltage across the other two
    bulbs. Make a not of the reading in your results table.
    Build a circuit with 3 bulbs in parallel, copy it
    into your book. Measure the voltage across the
    first bulb. Make a note of the reading in your
    table.
    Carry on and measure the voltage across the other two
    bulbs. Make a note of the reading in your table.
    Once finished, COPY and COMPLETE questions in
    your books.
