Idea #1
A common thought people have about current flowing through a resistor is that it is consumed by a resistor as it flows through the circuit.
Q1) Use Idea #1 to predict how the relative amount of current will compare at the points in the circuit labeled A, B, and C in the schematic above. ( i.e. greater, less, equal)
Idea #2
Another common thought people have about current flow in a circuit is that it will be less flowing into a larger resistor and greater flowing into a smaller one.
Q2) Use Idea #2 to predict how the relative amount of current will compare at points A, B, and C in the circuit. (i.e. greater, less, equal)
Idea #3
A third idea frequently held by people is that current flow is constant everywhere in a series circuit.
Q3) Use idea #3 to predict how the relative amount of current will compare at points A, B, and C. (i.e. greater, less, equal)
