parallel circuit
a closed electrical circuit in which the current is divided into two or more paths and then returns via a common path to complete the circuit .
series circuit
Where there is only one path from the source through all of the loads and back to the source.
voltage
an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts.
resistance
The force that appose the flow of electron current in a conductor.
resistor
devices that resistor the flow of electricity the flow of electricity and protect the components in a circuit.
Test 1
IV: parallel DV: Light
Observations 1 : the wire and the battery
Test 2
IV: parallel DV: light
Observations : wire and battery
conclusion
a parallel circuit is the best series to use for Christmas lights because if one bulb bursts out they will still work.
