Each light bulb represented above is part of a battery-charged electrical circuit. The light bulb acts as a resistor, which means that it uses up electricity that otherwise would be passed along the circuit toward the negative terminal of the battery pack. The end-to-end battery arrangement in circuit A combines battery voltages, whereas the parallel arrangement in circuit B does not. If the hourly use of the light bulb is the same for both circuits, what can you infer from the two diagrams?
