Defining Characteristics and Variables of the Electric Circuit Interaction
Today we investigated the interaction between electric circuts. The electric circuts include several elements, including: a cell (battery), wires, and a bulb. As we further investigated this experiment, we tried to test electric interaction between the cell, wires, bulb, and other everyday items. We initially begin with a battery which is connected to two wires on both its sides. Those two wires connect to a bulb, and electric interaction occurs, because electricity travels through the wires and into the bulb, causing the bulb to light. The metal wires conduct energy from one place to another. Below a graph is shown, when we tested electric interaction with several intems.

Answer to #4: summer
If the number of batteries increase, the bulb will grow brighter due to the incresed energy. In our lab, it shows how the bulb gets brighter with each battery. The reason this occurs, is because each battery holds energy, and when there are two batteries or three, they give off more energy together than apart. (Courtney)
NUMBER OF BATTERIES
BRIGHTNESS OF BULB
1
DIM
2
BRIGHT
3
BRIGHTEST!
When there was one battery the electricity was measured at 1.5 kilowats. At 2 cells, the electricity was measured at 3 kilowats. When there were 3 batteries, the electicity was measured at 4.5 kilowats. Finally, when there were 4 cells, the electricity was measured at 6 kilowats. Patrick
nswer to #15: i dont have the question to this one but if one of you can type it on here ill answer it
