Practical 5 – Simple Circuits at Home
Part 1: Exercise 1:
1. Done online
2. Done online
3. The lightbulb in circuits C and D will shine the brightest. Circuits C and D are
connected in parallel, but effective resistance in a parallel circuit decreases, thus
causing current to increase. Current also flows through the path with least resistance
in a circuit, thus causing the maximum current to flow through the lightbulbs causing
them to shine the most brightly.

Table to Show Voltmeter and Ammeter Readings of Four Circuits:
Circuit: Voltmeter Reading (V): Ammeter Reading (A):
A 3 0.15
B 3 0.15
C 3 0.30
D 3 0.30
5. The brightness of the lightbulbs matches the prediction made. The brightest
lightbulbs were the lightbulbs in circuit C and circuit D. The dimmest lightbulbs were
lightbulbs A and B. This matches the expectation set by the prediction.
Exercise 2:
All batteries have been set to have a potential difference of 3V where internal resistance is
negligible.
