Task You will be shown four different arrangements of light bulbs connected to batteries with conducting wires. The arrangements will vary with their being between 0 and 4 light bulbs connected in series. Assume all pieces in the circuit behave perfectly. A voltmeter will be used to measure the potential difference between the terminals of the battery.

V1V1 V3V3 V2V2 V4V4
3
Rank the potential difference measured between the two battery terminals from the greatest to the least. If there are any ties indicate them. A. V 1 > V 2 > V 3 > V 4 B. V 4 > V 3 > V 2 > V 1 C. V 1 = V 4 > V 2 = V 3 D. V 2 = V 3 > V 1 = V 4 E. V 1 = V 2 = V 3 = V 4
4
What was the reason that you ranked them that way? A. The more resistors, the more voltage the battery supplies B. The more resistors the less voltage a battery supplies C. The voltage is used by the first light bulb, then the next … D. Ideal batteries always provide the same voltage E. Some other reason
5
How confident are you about your answer? A. I know I’m right B. I’m pretty sure C. Neutral D. I’m mostly guessing E. I’m completely guessing
