5. The circuit at right shows four identical bulbs connected to an ideal
battery.
a. Rank the bulbs according to brightness, in order from brightest to
dimmest. If two bulbs have the same brightness, indicate that
explicitly.
Explain how you determined the ranking of the bulbs.
b. Suppose that a switch has been added to the circuit as shown. The
switch is initially closed.

When the switch is opened, will the current through bulb A
increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain how you
determined your answer.
