7. Examine the diagram below (Figure 1) showing a battery and three identical
bulbs without sockets. You have two wires available. Draw the two wires
connected in such a way as to depict a continuous conducting path that will
enable all three bulbs to light. Add arrows to the continuous conducting path to
indicate the direction of charge flow, based on the convention described in
Section 1.
