Series circuits exercises

Jonathon the electrician is confused. Should he connect the fuse box in series or in parallel to the circuit inside the house?
Explain.

Consider the circuit pictured on the right. It contains a power source and three 9V light globes.

The circuit pictured on the right is a

The power source provides a voltage of 9V. Each light globe glows with

The voltage across one of the lamps is measure with a volmeter. Its reading was

The circuit pictured on the right contains 4 light globes connected to a power source

If each light globe is 6 V, what should the minimum voltage provided by the power source be so that each light globe glows with maximum brightness?

A 9 V light globe is connected, together with a number of other identical light globes, to a 36 V power source. A voltmeter measures the voltage across this light globe at 4.5 V.

How many light globes are connected?
What type of circuit is this?

What should the voltage of the power source be in order for all light globes to glow with maximum brightness?

The voltage across a lamp is measured with a voltmeter. Two more identical lamps are added and the voltage across the same lamp measured again. What is the voltage across the lamp?

Solution

A light globe of unknown resistance is connected toa 9 V battery. An ammeter was connected to the circuit and mesured the current at 2 Amps. Three more identical light globes were connected and the current measured once more. What was the reading on the ammeter?
The elastic band provides the tension to automatically close the gate. Metal contacts that complete the circuit and cause the light to glow when the gate is shut The light indicating if the gate is open or closed An electromagnet that activates the lock The bolt that is lifted through a scre eye by the electromagnet The gate
