Date: Name: Quantities in Series & Parallel Section 13.10: How Series & Parallel Circuits Differ 1. Compare the total resistance of loads connected in series with those loads connected in parallel. 2. Why is it a bad idea to connect too many devices in parallel to an energy source, such as a wall outlet? 3. a) What would happen to the voltage drop across each lamp if you kept adding lamps to a series circuit? b) What do you think you would observe in terms of the brightness of the lamps? 4. Use the diagram below to answer the questions that follow: a) What will happen to the other lamps if lamp 1 is unscrewed? b) What will happen to the other lamps is lamp 4 is unscrewed? 5. Use your knowledge of circuits in series & parallel to ll in the missing n=v
