6. You have a battery with leads B1 and B2, an open switch with ends S1 and S2, and two
resistors RA and RB with ends RA1 and RA2, and RB1 and RB2. Which ends would you
connect together to make a circuit with connected in parallel with the battery, and why do
you use the switch? Draw a picture of the circuit that would result.
Correct response(s):
Sample Correct Response:
[Art: Start with the circuit diagram given in the Correct Response to Question 4, and
omit voltage and resistance value labels. Add an open switch above and to the right
of the battery (i.e., above and to the left of the resistors), and label component ends
as discussed in the answer to Question 6. Component end labels will juxtapose at
connections between components. Place labels in close proximity to juxtapositions.]
Connect open switch end S1 to battery lead B1, ends RA1 and RB1 to S2, and ends RA2
and RB2 to B2. The switch is used for safety, so that electricity doesn’t flow in the
circuit until we activate it.
