Part 2: Lightbulbs
1) Consider the circuit above, where A, B, and C are equal lightbulbs. What do you think it will
happen to the brightness of A and B when you close the switch? For each, say if it will
increase, decrease or stay the same. Make a guess based on your intuition and write it here.
2) Now with your circuit board build the three-blub circuit as in the figure above. Keeping the
switch OPEN, what can you tell about the brightness of A and B?
3) Now close the switch, what happens to the brightness of A and B and C?
4) Does what you see in your circuit match your prediction in part 1)?
5) Using circuit analysis find an expression for the current through A and B when the switch is
OPEN.
