RELATIONSHIP

•  Is
there
a
pa*ern
in
the
amount
of
voltage
drop
across
the
resistor?
•  The
greater
the
resistance,
the
greater
the
voltage
drop
across
the
resistor.
RELATIONSHIPS
•  Is
there
a
pa*ern
in
the
amount
of
voltage
drop
across
the
lamp?
•  The
greater
the
resistance,
the
less
the
voltage
drop
across
the
lamp.
RELATIONSHIPS
•  How
do
these
voltage‐drop
pa*erns
relate
to
the
size
of
the
resistor
in
the
circuit
with
the
lamp?
•  As
the
resistance
increases,
the
voltage
across
the
resistor
increases,
and
the
voltage
across
the
lamp
decreases.
RELATIONSHIPS
•  Add
up
the
lamp
and
resistor
voltages
for
each
resistor.
Is
there
a
pa*ern?
•  The
sum
of
the
voltage
drops
in
the
circuit
equals
the
available
voltage
across
the
terminals
of
the
baGery.
