How is the amount of voltage and current linked?

• The higher the voltage the more current can flow

• The lower the voltage the more current can flow

Define the potential difference?

• How much work can potentially be done by a circuit

How do aligned batteries affect voltage?

• More volts means less power

• More volts means more power

Side by side batteries does what?

• Lengthen the possible usage without increasing voltage.

• Lengthen the possible usage by increasing voltage.

What is the difference between volts and voltage?

• Voltage is the pressure and Volts are the units to measure that pressure

• Volts is the pressure and Voltage are the units to measure that pressure

Why would two lights on the same circuit be dimmer than a single light bulb?

• They share voltage and thus reduce the power.

• They share voltage and thus increase the power.
