a battery

You can use a
battery to light a holiday bulb. Obtain a
holiday bulb from your teacher. See if you
can make it light by connecting it to a
battery.
-
Where do you have to connect the
bulb to the battery to make it light? Draw
a picture of your set-up showing the wire
connections.Refer to Technical Hints
to see how to use the drawing tool.
-
What do you think will happen to the
brightness of the bulb if you connect it to
two batteries?

Give this a try. What does having
more voltage across a bulb (connecting it to
two batteries) do to the brightness of a bulb?
