This is a homemade series circuit consisting of 6 1.5 Volt "D " Batteries, 4 Small DC motors, and 1 Small Lighbulb.

By connecting the terminal of the batteries, all of the power flowed through the loads (motors and light) but less than 9 volts got to each load.

That is because this is a series circuit, and everything is connected together through one series of wire.

To make this yourself, just get some 1.5 Volt Batteries (bigger batteries last longer), some small DC motors (google it), and some copper wire.

This was created for my science class! :D

  • where did u get the small motors from gotta build one of these for a science project

  • @xIKILLU102x I got them from my school, but I'm you can probably buy them online too.

  • I was watching your video, maybe you can help me. I am trying to build a series circuit for my sons science project. We are using 3 D batteries and 4 small light bulbs and nothing is happening. What am i doing wrong?

  • @ralrey1 First, make sure that all of the wire, batteries and bulbs work properly, and that the bulbs are connected correctly. Then, check how much power the lightbulbs need to work (I don't know about the ones in the video).

    Also, in the series circuit, the power (4.5 Volts) is divided evenly between the bulbs (I think).

  • hey man that was cool

  • @BunBuns2108 Thanks :P and don't worry guys, I'm still gonna make videos of video games, I have at least 20 unedited MKW and NBA Jam videos on my Hard Drive XD

see all
