this is the 3rd time im asking T_T , i dont think i made the last one clear enough. so there's 2 circuits, parallel and series each with 4 bulbs (the 2 batteries are not in parallel in the parallel circuit, in both circuits the batteries are side-by-side). in the series circuit, the bulbs are lines up. in the parallel, the bulbs are in parallel, each with their own path. if it is series, is it because when energy goes through the filament (the resistor in this case) it's converted into light and heat, but when it goes past the resistor, the energy is transferred back into it's original power? what if it doesnt? does the first bulb closest to the positive ( i think energy goes positive to negative terminal) terminal appear brighter than the rest? and the fourth bulb the dimmest? what about parallel. lets say the total voltage is 12V. does each bubl get 3V ea then? please explain.
