Return to Resistance, EMF, and Current

Description:

Two or three light bulbs are hooked in parallel. Unscrewing any one of the light bulbs has no effect on the other ones. Use a Current and Power meter and bulbs of different wattage to show the dependence of current and power and how as you screw in bulbs in paralelle the voltage stays the same but the current increases.
