Lab 7, sample answers

As you are working through lab #7, either in the lab or in Croc physics, you should pay attention to WHAT you are measuring and seeing.
Here are some sample measurements that you probably won't get, but if you look through here you should be able to understand the way that the voltage drops across the circuit and the current works its way through the circuit.
The brightness of a given bulb can essentially be measured in Watts (power usage), which you can find by multiplying the Voltage across a bulb and the current through that bulb.
