About This Product
With the lamps fitted and the chain completed with patch cables, switching on the DC supply lights every lamp, but each is dimmer than a single lamp alone because the voltage is shared. Unscrewing one lamp puts them all out, showing that a series circuit has only one path. Meters connected at the ports let students measure the current and the voltage across each lamp, linking the result to old-style string lights and fuses. Enquiries from Namibia, Turkmenistan, Colombia, Rwanda, Vietnam and Brunei for the Lamps in Series Kit STEM Lab receive an export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do all the lamps go out when one is removed?
In a series circuit the current has only one path. Removing any lamp breaks that path, so no current flows to the others.
Why are the lamps dimmer in series?
The supply voltage is shared between the lamps, so each one receives only part of it.
