# Circuit Analysis - Current The document describes different electrical circuits and analyzes how current and brightness of lamps are affected in series and parallel circuits. ## Questions and Diagrams The document includes diagrams of electric circuits with different configurations of lamps (bulbs) and batteries. Questions are posed about water pipes analogy for electrical circuits. ## Observations * **Parallel Circuits:** When lamps are connected in parallel, the current splits, and each lamp will be dimmer than a standard lamp. * **Series Circuits:** When lamps are connected in series, the current stays the same, and each lamp is equally bright as the standard light. * **Current and Brightness:** The brightness of lamps directly correlates to the current flowing through them. Increased current leads to brighter lamps. * **Battery Voltage:** Adding or removing batteries in series ("dry cells") will increase or decrease the total voltage (current ADD up). * **Current Splitting:** In parallel circuits, the current splits in each branch. * **Current in Series:** In series circuits, the current stays the same for all components. * **Brightness Comparison:** Lamps in parallel are dimmer than lamps in series. ## Additional Notes The document also includes analysis of how current is affected by adding or removing components in a circuit. No explicit mathematical formulas or equations are present in the image.
