build a circuit containing two resistors that are in series with each other. This circuit also contains two light bulbs that are in parallel to each other, but are in series to the resistors. Connected this to two batteries that are in series with each other.

I know you can't draw it here but can someone tell me descriptively how to draw it please?

draw the batteries on the left, one above the other

next over, draw two resistors, in line on the same wire. Connect the ends of the wire to the top and bottom of the batteries.

Next over, draw two light bulbs beside each other. Connect the two top ends together, and the two bottom ends. Now connect the tops to the top of the battery, and the bottoms to the bottom of the battery.

You must surely have sample circuits where elements are connected in series and in parallel.

A good example is here:

Certainly! I can guide you through the process to help you understand how to draw the circuit you described using words.

To begin, let's start by placing the two batteries in series with each other. This means that the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the other. Imagine the batteries placed side by side. We can label the positive terminal of the first battery as "+1" and the negative terminal of the second battery as "-2".

Next, we will connect the two resistors in series. Connect one end of the first resistor to the positive terminal of the first battery, "+1". The other end of the first resistor will be connected to one end of the second resistor. Finally, connect the other end of the second resistor to the negative terminal of the second battery, "-2".

Now, let's move on to the light bulbs. Both light bulbs will be connected in parallel to each other. This means that one end of the first light bulb will be connected to one end of the second light bulb, while the other ends of the bulbs will be connected to the resistors.

To be more specific, connect one end of the first light bulb to the junction between the first resistor and the second resistor. Then, connect one end of the second light bulb to the other end of the first light bulb. Finally, connect the other end of the second light bulb to the junction between the second resistor and the negative terminal of the second battery, "-2".

Make sure to appropriately label the components and terminals in your sketch to keep track of the connections. Label the batteries as "+1" and "-2", the resistors as "R1" and "R2", and the light bulbs as "Bulb1" and "Bulb2".

Remember, when connecting components in series, the current flows through them one after the other. On the other hand, when connecting components in parallel, the current splits and flows through each component simultaneously.

I hope this description helps you to visualize and draw the circuit you asked for!
