Physics- Resistance Flashcards

1
Q

In a circuit where there is a battery in series with a lamp

A

The brightness of a lamp can be used as an indication of the current flowing through the lamp.
If you connect more lamps in series, the brightness of the lamp decreases with each resistir added: current decreased with more resistors in series
