Explain it

04.07 — one short write-up

A checkpoint, not a test

Explain a circuit choice

Treat this like a short DBA answer. State the result, use the equation, and explain the path.

Two circuits use the same battery and identical bulbs. One puts the bulbs in series; the other puts them in parallel. Which circuit has more total current, and why? Also explain what happens in each circuit if one bulb opens.

Compare total resistance and the number of complete paths.
