This circuit works due to the fact that there is a current flowing through each of the wires with the voltage being divided equally among the two bulbs. It has no breaks in it and therefore is a closed circuit and that's why both bulbs light up.
This is a circuit where there is a current flowing through the bulbs but one light bulb is a stronger resistor than the other so it takes up most of the voltage that is flowing through the current and that's why the other bulb is not lit.
This is a circuit in which the ending clips are not connected to both ends of the battery and therefore do not close the circuit which causes in neither lightbulb to light up.
This is a parallel circuit in which each lightbulb gets the full voltage of the battery and that's why they are both so bright compared to the others in this lab.
These should light up but there was an error in where we were putting the wire. This is because of the conduction of the individual lightbulbs that allows the current to go through and create a closed circuit.
This is a series circuit so the voltage is distributed equally to both lightbulbs and that is why they are equally bright.
This does not work since there is not a closed circuit being formed. The wire does not transfer the current through that part of the lightbulb.
This is the same as the one before. A closed circuit is not being formed and therefore there is no current that could power the lightbulb.
The voltage is shared equally in all of the lightbulbs which is why they are very dim. The circuit is closed so it still works.
There is one lightbulb and the current travels through it and then back to the wire, thus completing the circuit.
These are almost set up in parallel but once the circuit goes to the second light bulb it stops and so that lightbulb does not light. The other ligth bulb has a current that goes through it and to the other wire back to the battery which is a closed circuit and is the reason it can light up.
This is a series circuit in which there are 3 light bulbs that divide the voltage of the current equally amongst themselves and then the current travels back to the battery which completes the circuit.
The current doesn't travel through the lightbulb so nothing happens.
The current can travel through the lightbulbs which creates a closed circuit so the lightbulbs can work.
