To check and compare the different charging effect on electroscope and ball

Battery Bulb

2.

According to ohms law


I=V/R
So both vires have same voltage as well as resistance so current in both wires will be
same.
Also in series circuit current throughout the whole circuit is same. So both wires carry
same current.

3. We will test different models of current using current sensor, a device that detects
electric current in a wire and generates a signal proportional to that current. The
generated signal could be analog voltage or current or even a digital output.

Only if the positive and negative both terminals are connected to the battery then the
bulb will glow. To light the bulb the path must be completed as it is a cyclic process.
In last 3rd arrangement wire is not connected to the negative terminal hence there is no
potential difference for current to flow. And in 4th arrangement the path is not
completed.

1.9
Coins, Keys Knifes, Jewelry, metal pens etc can pass electricity easily.
1.10
Rubbers, plastic pens, papers etc can’t pass electricity.

1.11
Metals as well as the water in your house also conducts electricity.
Objects made up of plastic or have oxide coating and not metals prevent electric charge
to flow as they are nonconductors.
1.12
When the bulb is hooked up to a power supply, an electric current flows from one
contact to the other, through the wires and the filament. If the filament is not connected
the path is not completed and bulb doesn’t light up.
1.13
A bulb socket is a device that holds a bulb and provides electric current. When the bulb
burns out, you can replace the socket. Here’s how a light socket works.
In order to keep the current flowing the circuit must be closed. So, In unscrew bulb
socket there is no light bulb to close that circuit, there is technically no energy transferal

1.14
It is heated when you leave it on for 10 20 min due to resistance of bulb, the bulb
become hot.
1.15
Because the filament is so thin, it offers a good bit of resistance to the electricity, and this
resistance turns electrical energy into heat.
2-1

2-2:
On the battery symbol, the long line represents the positive terminal.
2-1: Describe how your circuit works, and why you connected it in the way you did.

This is circuit in which each lightbulb has its own "path" to the battery. If one of the bulbs fails, it
doesn't really do anything to the other bulb.
In tunnel scenario, we will use 2-wire control method when switches are in opposite state the
light will be inn OFF state otherwise on.
2-4:
When you connect a circuit, and switch is open, no current will flow, hence zero voltage. When
switch is closed current will start flowing and voltage will appear across the load.
2-5:
When you connect a circuit, and switch is open, no current will flow, hence zero voltage. When
switch is closed current will start flowing and voltage will appear across the load.
2-6:
No, the current through the battery will not change when you added the second bulb to the
circuit because current in series remain same.
2-7:
Yes, the voltage across the battery will change significantly when you added the second bulb to
the circuit because in series, voltage is divided to all components of the circuit.
2-8:
A battery is a voltage source because the galvanic activity they use to store and deliver energy
has a fixed voltage across it. However, a battery is not an ideal voltage source.
Question E3-1:

A person is giving the energy required for this experiment, so it acts like a battery. The ball acts like an
electrons flow and the bars represents the resistance to the electrons(balls).
