PARALLEL CIRCUIT
PARALLEL CIRCUIT
Background
Light bulbs are in parallel if they are side-by-side. They still share the electrical energy but they affect each other differently than if they were in series.Materials Needed
2 batteries in holders1 breadboard
2 light bulbs
4 wires with washers
push pins
Procedure
1. Connect up the simple circuit with 2 batteries.2. Now replace the single light bulb by two in parallel as shown.
3. Remove one bulb from its socket. What happens? Why?
