When I measured the Voltage drop after light bulb 1 it had dropped by 6.05 V. After light bulb 2 I measured it and it was 5.86 V. This shows that when you have 2 consumers wired up in series they share the voltage between them.
The amperage in the series circuit is lower than that of the individual. This is because with 2 bulbs there is a higher resistance resulting in the amperage being lowered.
Three light bulbs in the circuit resulted in the voltage at each bulb dropped even more. This is because there are now 3 bulbs sharing the same voltage.
Again the amperage is even lower because there are more consumers in the circuit creating a higher resistance.
Each time I added a bulb to the circuit the brightness of each one got dimmer. This is because the voltage is being shared and each one is not recieving the maximum to sufficiently light it.
