Why circuit components behave differently

为什么电路元件的表现各不相同

Description

Compare and give reasons for variations in how circuit components function, including brightness of bulbs, loudness of buzzers, and switch positions

Mastery Evidence
  • Explain why adding more components in series reduces brightness/loudness (energy shared)
  • Compare circuits with different configurations and predict component behaviour
  • Give reasoned explanations for observed variations in component function
Assessment Prompt

If your child adds a second bulb to a series circuit and it gets dimmer, can they explain why the energy is being shared between the two bulbs?
