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

5. Assume that you need to measure an average temperature in a heated space. You have three identical temperature sensors. Each sensor produces a voltage proportional to temperature such that: Sensor Voltage = .01 * Temperature in degrees Celsius Assume that you bave three voltages, Va, V, and V, You want to take the average of these three voltages lin order to compute the average temperature inside the heated space. This circuit has been suggested as a possibility for computing the average. Rf ww Vout A. Find an analytical expression for Vout in terms of the input voltages and the four resistors. B.
