Current and resistance in a series connection

Principle

Various components in a circuit can be connected in series. The total resistance and the total current can be calculated from the partial resistances of the components.

Benefits

• Flexible experimenting thanks to wireless data transmission
• No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arranged and quick setup
• Contact safety due to puzzle blocks system
• Corrosion-free gold plated contacts
• Doubled earning success: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components from below

Tasks

• Switch an incandescent lamp in series with a second one of the same kind and interpret the occurring
  phenomena
• Use a series connection of two resistances to investigate which laws are valid for the total resistance
  and the total current in the circuit
