Circuits

What would happen?

• the lights would flicker back and forth

• the lights would not work

• the lights would be incredibly bright

• the lights would alternate between on and off

What would happen if you added another globe in parallel to the others?

• the lights would all be dimmer

• the lights would all be brighter

• the brightness would stay the same

What would happen?

• the electricity would still be able to get through the circuit

• the other globe wouldn't work

• you've overloaded the circuit

• the other globe would be brighter as there is more current available

What would happen?

• only one globe would switch on

• both globes would switch on but with lesser intensity than if it was one globe

• both globes would switch on with equal intensity as if there was only one globe

• none of the gobes would work because the switch is not attached to their circuit

What would happen?

• the globes would be brighter

• the globes would be dimmer because you have increased the load

• the circuit is underloaded now

• the current would have decreased

What would happen?

• the volmeter would measure the current in this instance

• the voltmeter would be over loaded

• voltmeters are not attached in this way

• voltmeters need to be in series with circuit elements to measure the voltage

What would happen?

• none of the globes would work

• only one globe would work

• both would work because there is still a closed circuit

• the other globe would burn becaus of too much current

What would happen?

• ammeters are not attached in parallel to circuit components

• it would measure the voltage across the cells

• you've provided a short circuit

• nothing would happen, the globes would simply flash on and off

What would happen?

• the globes would get dimmer

• the globes would flicker on and off

• the batteries would explode

• the globes would get brighter

What would happen?

• you've increased the load on the circuit, the globes would get dimmer

• you've increased the load in the circuit, the globes would be brighter

• the circuit wouldn't work because now the electrons have to go side to side- taking too much energy

• there would be no change visible in the globes
