+ 3 R www R R III D A student at your table has just answered Question #2. That student says, "We know that the electrons are flowing counterclockwise so they will reach the light bulb on the right side of the circuit first. This means that that light bulb would light first. It also means that if we reversed the battery connection so that its positive terminal is on the right then the light bulb on the left side of the circuit would light first. Analyze this student's statement and determine what is right and/or what is wrong. " 2. Imagine that all the resistors in circuit III are really light bulbs. When the switch is closed, which one lights up first or do they all light up at the same time? Explain. Assume that a light bulb lights the instant it begins receiving energy. + 3 R www R R III D A student at your table has just answered Question #2.
