How It Is Used
Students connect a low-voltage DC supply and switch the branches on one at a time, measuring the current in each with an ammeter and the voltage across each lamp with a voltmeter. They find that every lamp gets the full voltage and that the branch currents add up to the total, which is Kirchhoff's current law and the reason homes are wired in parallel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What supply does the Lamps in Parallel Kit need?
A low-voltage DC supply; the kit is compatible with 3V to 12V.
Can each lamp of the Lamps in Parallel Kit be switched separately?
Yes. Every branch has its own switch, so lamps can be turned on or off independently while the others stay lit.
