Assignment: Resistance in Parallel Circuits Online Lab Part 1: Creating a Parallel Circuit 1. Explain why the first circuit made is a series circuit and not a parallel circuit.

2. Describe how the current flows through this circuit.

3. What is the current flowing through each of the lightbulbs?

4. What is the total current flowing in the circuit?

5. What is the voltage of the circuit?

6. What is the voltage of each lightbulb?
