Yes, for school....was more of a generic question on determining the proper battery + wire size, given the bulbs/sockets. (i.e., we figured out 9v in parallel would be no bueno for our 1.5v 0.3a lights), but then wondering how one would determine if a AA/C/D battery (all being 1.5v, I believe)...

Thanks! We can't use more than 9v AND the circuit must be wired in parallel. :) After doing a little more digging, I believe we had it backwards—no voltage drop in parallel, right, because each bulb would be receiving the full 9v from the battery? ...so adding a bunch more bulbs (falsely...

TL;DR Summary: We purchased a 9v battery box and planned to wire it—in parallel—to 10 mini bulbs, assuming 10 bulbs drawing from the 9v would be more than enough voltage drop to not go up in smoke. We purchased a 9v battery box and planned to wire it—in a parallel circuit—to 10 mini bulbs...
