My question originates from an experiment we conducted in our science class 
recently, in the experient we had a number of globes attached in series and 
when we switched them on the voltage coming from the battery was devided into 
the number of globes, each receiving the same amount of voltage. How is it that 
the voltage can pass through the first globe and not be all used up?
