Document Content and Description Below
Exploring Series and Parallel Circuits Getting Ready: Navigate to the DC Circuit Builder Once opened, select the pencil icon and use the tools (at the bottom of the screen) to build a circuit. Simp ... ly select a bulb, resistor, wire or ammeter (the rectangular box) and tap or click in the workspace where you wish it to be located. Electric potential values are listed in the workspace at the corner of every square on the grid. Current values are listed on the ammeters. Build, Measure, Analyze: Circuit in Series 1. Double-click on the Drawing above. Use colored lines to color code the wires on the diagram above. Use the ROYGBV series of colors, where red is the highest potential and blue and violet are the lowest potential. 2. How does the current in each individual light bulb compare to each other? As the current travels down the circuit it loses 3 volts off energy. 3. Calculate the difference in electric pressure (ΔV) across each light bulb. Bulb 1: ΔV = __3___ Volts Bulb 2: ΔV = __3___ Volts Bulb 3: ΔV = __3___ Volts [Show More]
