Please refer to which question u r answering.
Add a thrid bulb, in series with the first two, to the circuit. What happens to the other bulbs if you remove one of the bulbs from the circuit?
d.What happened to the energy supplied by the three batteries as you added more light bulbs?
e.How does the total voltage compare for each trial? Why would you have expected this?
f.What happens to the current flowing through the circuit as you added more bulbs?
g.what happens to the brightness of each bulb as you add more bulbs, in parallel, to a circuit?
h.what happens to the total current in the circuit as you add more bulbs in parallel?
i.what do you notice about the voltage drop across each bulb in a parallel circuit?

d. How are the batteries connected? In serial or parallel? In any case you are increasing the resistive load of the circuit everytime you add a bulb. If you have two 1.5 volts batteries in series connected to the three bulbs you are supplying 3 volts to the circuit. If you add up the total resistance from the three bulbs and use Ohm's Law you'll find that the current drops from that of just two bulbs. If you have two 1.5 volts batteries in parallel connected to the circuit, you are now just supplying 1.5 volts to the bulbs so they will be dimmer BUT now share the current load so there be less of a drop in power.
e. Ideally (not taking in account that some resistance is seen in the battery) if you are only adding resistors (bulbs) in series then the voltage will still be whatever you batteries are supplying. Again Ohm's law.
f. The current drops.
I'm a little fuzzy on h and i. Probably should research it because I can't remember but I do know that the resistance doesn't add up like in a resistive series circuit.
Question j. Did you post on a forum in the internet to have people do your homework for you? :D
A J: Yes, because he could not find a prober website leech homework off :).

Nah, I'm working on a virtual lab online, not homework. I happen to like science.

I don't have the materials to actually perform the experiment and and ur not allowed to get the results until you answer the questions.
since its online how about a link

Just look in a search engine. Your answer are all wrong anyways, I figured out the correct ones. You should not be part of this forum if your not good at science;it's called an intelligent community...And I am a She.

Are you refering to me? If so screw you as I tried to help. I'm pretty sure those answers are mostly correct. And you're the one trying to leech off of others' intelligence so should YOU not be here?
so your unwilling to part with your link, to bad.
You should not be part of this forum if your not good at science;it's called an intelligent community
you should try some of the other subforums, they can be quite entertaining :), in any event your statement is wrong.
