This video can be used to explore electric potential differences along bare wires connected to a battery, a simple circuit with a light bulb, a series circuit with 2 different light bulbs, and a parallel circuit with 2 different light bulbs. There is a linked worksheet below which guides students in the data collection process and analysis of each of the circuits listed above.
