Chapter 6.2, Problem 3aT

Set up the circuit with three bulbs as shown and observe their brightness.

Before making the voltmeter measurements, predict the ranking of the potential difference across the battery and each bulb $\left(V_{\text{Bat}},V_{\text{Bulb}\text{1}},V_{\text{Bulb}\text{2}},\text{and}{V}_{\text{Bulb}\text{3}}\right)$ . Explain your prediction.

Measure the potential difference across each element in the circuit. If your measurement are not consistent with your ranking above, resolve the inconsistencies.
