Blog Post #20
Hey guys, its me again talking to you about my majestic daily life, physics edition. So we have been learning a lot about circuits and electricity these past weeks. Today I'm going to be talking to you about circuits. If you look at the picture, you will see my bathroom lights. Please ignore the fact that one light bulb is out, it's because it is fused out. Anyways, if you did not know already there are two different types of circuits, series and parallel (and combo but that is just a mixture of both). If you don't know what they are it's just that series are connected in one line, while a parallel is connected by many different connecting paths. My bathroom lights are set up in a parallel circuit because in a series, the broken light bulb would have killed the circuit and all of the bulbs would have stopped working. But in this case, only one bulb stopped working, therefore, it must be in a parallel circuit. Thats pretty much it. I hope you learned just a little bit about circuits. Anyways, I have to go change that light bulb now. See you next week. I think we might be doing our water bottle rockets this week. But I'm not sure. So don't count on it! Okay bye.
