Hooking up resistors, light bulbs in this case, in series as opposed to parallel make a difference in the light brightness. In series, the current is the same, but the voltage is split between the two. In parallel, the current is not the same, but the voltage is the same when it reaches the bulb. This causes increased light.
Here we set up an experiment where we heated water with a heater, with a certain amount of voltage and current coming through it.
Using LoggerPro, as well as our knowledge from prior chapters involving heat energy, we calculated several values. Temperature, and alpha, a constant that is unique to different materials
