Series Circuits

1. What happens in a series circuit when any wire is disconnected? Why?

1. A) Does each resistor in a series circuit receive equal current? B) What about equal voltage?

1. How does the across voltage of each resistor compare to the voltage of the battery in a series circuit?

Parallel Circuits

1. What happens to the current of the other resistors when a wire going to just one other resistor in a parallel circuit is disconnected? Why?

1. A) Does each resistor in a parallel circuit receive equal current? B) What about equal voltage?

1. How does the voltage of each resistor in a parallel circuit compare to the voltage of the battery?

1. Construct Circuit 6 shown below with the voltage still at 10.0 V. Why do you get the observed results?
