Assemble, one at a time, each of the following closed circuits.

Compare and contrast the performance of each one, as evidenced by the light bulbs' behaviors.

The following circuits are similar in some ways to the basic series and parallel circuits just discussed. Compared to how brightly the light bulbs glowed in those basic circuits, predict how they will behave in the following. Will they be brighter, dimmer, or the same?

Circuit A will be Dimmer The same Brighter		Circuit B will be Dimmer The same Brighter
Circuit C will be Dimmer The same Brighter		Circuit D will be Dimmer The same Brighter

Which circuits were in parallel and which had the elements connected in series?
In general, what can you conclude about the different effects that parallel and series arrangements have on electrical devices? Where have you encountered series and parallel circuits before? (Don't forget to include things like switches).
Check the box when you are done:
