- Very short class (Remembrance Day Ceremony)
In class: Discussion about the lab due tomorrow (Properties of a Series Circuit) and what should be in the Conclusion:
What should be answered in the Conclusion?
1. What happens to the voltage in a series circuit when cells are added (in series)?
2. What happens to the current in a series circuit when cells are added?
3. What happens to the current when lights are added?
4. What happens to the voltage when lights are added (more complicated than the rest - voltage will be different at different parts of the circuit - make sure you talk about the voltage across a single light when there is only one light compared to when there is more than one light in series).
