In tutorial, you compared the relative brightness of the bulbs in the three circuits shown. In the diagrams, boxes have been drawn around the networks of bulbs in each circuit.
On the basis of your observations and the rule you developed in tutorial relating current through the battery to total resistance, rank the networks (boxes) A−C according to their equivalent resistance. Explain your reasoning on the basis of the model. (Do not use math.)

High potential I R1 R2 + 12 I Low potential Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in milli-Amps (mA), however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number. If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.arrow_forwardConsider the diagram at the right of a parallel circuit.

Based on what you learned about parallel and series connections in lab, which of these two configurations would result in the light bulbs being the brightest? Fully explain your reasoning. Imagine that you are given four 100Ω resistors to build a circuit. Your challenge is to use all four of the resistors in the circuit, but the circuit must have an overall equivalent resistance of 100Ω. Is this possible? If so, draw a diagram of the circuit and explain how the connections result in a 100Ω equivalent resistance. If this is not possible, draw a diagram of a circuit involving all four resistors that has an equivalent resistance as close to 100Ω as is possible.arrow_forward
