3. What was the calculated resistance in the series circuit?
4. What was the current in the 1st LED of the parallel circuit?
5. What was the calculated resistance of the 1st LED circuit?
6. What was the current in the 2nd LED of the parallel circuit?
7. What was the calculated resistance of the 2nd LED circuit?
8. How did the current and resistance in the two parallel circuits compare?
9. How did the current and resistance of the series and parallel circuits relate to the observed LED brightness of each circuit?

Hints and Tips:

Remember to cover up the variable you're missing to use Ohm's Law! In the video (time stamp 3:10), the Voltage and Current were known. Divide the Voltage by the Current to find your Resistance!

Don't forget to convert to your base units (Volts, Amps, and Ohms).
