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.
The first circuit is a series circuit since the electric current flows through all of the components under one single branch.
2. Describe how the current flows through this circuit. Since the circuit is a parallel circuit, the electric current flows through the many different paths of the circuit
3. What is the current flowing through each of the lightbulbs?
The current flowing through each of the lightbulbs is 0.90 amperes.
4. What is the total current flowing in the circuit? The total current flowing is 1.80 amperes
5. What is the voltage of the circuit? The voltage of the circuit is 9 volts.
6. What is the voltage of each lightbulb?
The voltage of each lightbulb is 9 volts.
