3. Like straws in parallel: hold 3 short straws 3. What happens to current as it flows through side-by-side and blow through all three. parallel resistors compared to just one resistor? Compare to 1 straw. Which has an easier, faster flow rate? 4. Different straws in series: hold a coffee straw | 4. When you hawve a large (high resistance) and and a regular straw together in series. Try a small (low resistance) resistor in series, which blowing through both ends of your system. of the two is the major factor in resisting current Which direction is easier? Which straw is the flow? major factor in ease of blowing
