If I add more batteries or cells in series in a circuit what happens to the potential difference
What is increase?
200
Series or parallel? As more batteries are added in series, the lights get brighter. The voltage increases as batteries are added.
What is series
200
A voltmeter is connected in parallel with either a load or an energy source and is used to measure what?
What is potential difference or voltage?

An ammeter must be connected in this way in order to measure the current through a component.
What is in series with the component?
300
Series or parallel? As more batteries are added, the lights will not get brighter. The voltage does not increase, but the batteries will last longer.
What is parallel
