Series/Parallel
Circuits consists of a power supply, two volt meters,
one large ampere meter and four smaller ampere meters
which are connected to individual light bulbs. The four
light bulbs and their accompanying ampere meters are
on rotating blocks which make it possible to connect
them to prominent bus bars in either serial or parallel
fashion. Regardless of whether or not the light bulbs
are connected in series or parallel, 18 watts are consumed
to power the lamps. The various meters make very clear
what the voltage and amperage measurements are in any
of the configuration which the visitor can try.
