Synopsis: This page has two images. The top half of the page shows a circuit diagram with a closed switch, a cell, a lamp and an ammeter. To the right is a readout from the ammeter. The bottom half of the page shows a circuit diagram with a closed switch, a cell, two lamps and an ammeter. To the right is a readout from the ammeter. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The diagrams use standard symbols to represent electrical components: the cells each have vertical parallel lines; each lamp is shown as a circle with a diagonal cross inside. The three ammeters are each shown as a circle with a capital print A inside. The circuits wiring is represented by solid black lines. In the circuit at the bottom of the page with two lamps, the total resistance is higher than the circuit at the top of the page with one lamp. As a result, the current flow is less in the bottom circuit.
