Picture above is a series circuit without a motor Picture above is series circuit with a motor
 * Series Circuits**

2. As I continuely add things, the voltage gets more and more spread out and weaker which causes the motor not to run sufficiently and periodically, rather than continuing 3. Entire circuit shuts off




 * Parallel Circuit**



1. Changes the flow of the circuit and the lights became brighter

2. The christmas light farthest away from the battery stops working, but the middle christmas light continues to work and gets brighter.




 * Exercise 3: V/R=1**

Electricity Fundamentals: Light bulb worked when current was equal to the voltage/resistance

Resistance: More or less work is depended upon the voltage of the battery and adequate amount of amps. When high voltage amp is connected with a low amp more work has to be done so light doesn't overheat. The closer the voltage of the battery is to the amperage of the bulb, the lesser work has to be done

People should not plug in to many items into an extension cord because the more things that are plugged, the more volts have to flow throughout the extension cord and do more work. When this happens the chances of the extension cord of overheating increases.

Unplug cord and buy a bigger/thicker cord that can handle the proper amount of voltage for a freezer

Questions

If too much current reaches a bulb it simply short circuits, but it could be stated theoretically it would blow up If insufficient current is present/reaches the bulb, it simply will glow dimly or not at all OHM's states that amperage of the bulb must be equal to the amount of voltage divided by current resistance. All of the previous must be satisfied to satisfy law Use a potato as handle. []
