Reused from the MicroSim catalog (WHAT match score 0.7829). Bloom Taxonomy: Apply (L3). Bloom Verb: calculate. Learning objective: Calculate the equivalent resistance of a series circuit and a parallel circuit side by side, and predict how current and voltage divide differently in each, by adjusting resistor values and observing which bulb glows brightest in an animated comparison.
