Thursday: Voltage

Volts are a measure of how much electric force is stored.
Voltage is an electric force that causes electrons to move around a circuit.
Just like water needs pressure to force it through a hose, electrical current needs some force to make it flow.

Do you think the amount of volts affect the circuit in any way? Bulbs, buzzers, motors?

How could we test whether the amount of volts affects the brightness of a lamp or volume of a buzzer?

If you were in school, we would test this out, but, unfortunately, you probably don't have the correct equipment at home.

This video explains what you would probably find: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z6qd7ty
