Construct a series circuit.

Construction should include

  • a battery
  • conductors
  • a switch
  • a load(s) (e.g., resistors,  light bulbs).

A schematic of the circuit should be drawn and the voltage of the circuit measured using a digital multimeter (DMM).

Note: This can be done with circuit software or actual parts.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What kind of meter is used to measure voltage in a circuit?
  • What makes a series circuit series?
