Questions:
• The label on the
battery says 6V. If we
connected a voltmeter
across each lamp,
what would the
readings be?
• At lamp 1 - _______ V
• At lamp 2- ________V
• At lamp 3- ________V
Questions:
9V
L3
• What current will Load 1,
2 and 3 have?
Measuring Resistance
• Resistance – slows down current, adding
components to a circuit increases resistance
