Construct a parallel circuit.

Construction should include

  • a battery
  • conductors
  • a switch
  • a load(s) (e.g., resistors, light bulbs)
  • an extra path wired into the circuit.

A schematic should be drawn of the circuit and the voltage measured across various components using a digital multimeter.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • Why is a multimeter called that?
  • What makes a parallel circuit parallel?
