2. For parallel circuits, you saw that the potential difference across each resistor was the same as the potential difference of the battery. Use your rule for potential difference in series circuits to explain why this would happen. Hint: Imagine following an electron as it leaves the battery, travels one of the paths through the circuit, and returns to the batter What is true about the changes in potential difference for the electron in each type of circuit? What would happen to the potential difference if you only had one resistor in series?
a. Bulb A remains the same because the voltage and current to it will be the same as before. b. Bulb A will glow brighter than before because adding another bulb in parallel will give greater current to bulb A, therefore greater brightness. c. Bulb A will glow lesser because adding another bulb in parallel will give lesser current to Bulb A, therefore lesser brightness. d. Either C or D e. Either B or C 2.In series circuit electrons in the current when comes to second bulb after passing through the first, have A. more energy B. No answer C. less power D. more power E. less energy

(Extension question) Voltage can be measured using an oscilloscope by multiplying the "volts per division" setting by the number of divisions (or boxes) between the signal and the centre "zero" line on the oscilloscope grid. For an a.c. signal, the "peak voltage" is the maximum voltage reached in any cycle. For each of the following signals, determine the d.c. voltage or the a.c. peak voltage shown. The "volts per division" setting is given in each case. M 3 volts per division (b) 1.5 volts per division 0.5 volts per division
