please answer both question in type form ( need for my project) In each circuit, rank the bulbs according to brightness. If any bulbs are equal in brightness or not lit, state so explicitly. Explain your reasoning. (Assume all bulbs are identical and all batteries are ideal). a.)
Identical bulbs are shown in the circuit. 1) Is bulb A brighter, dimmer, or the same brightness as bulb B? Explain 2) Is the current through bulb D greater that or less that, or equal to the current through bulb F. Explain. 3) If bulb F is unscrewed from its socket, does bulb B become brighter, dimmer, or stay the same. Explain.
Three resistors having resistances of 4.0 Ω, 6.0 Ω, and 10.0 Ω are connected in parallel. If the combination is connected to an ideal 12-V. What is the total resistance of the circuit?

You hook up the circuit shown to the right.a) Write a voltage equation that states how the voltage drops across the bulbs relate to the voltage gain across the battery . Use this equation along with Ohm's law for each bulb to determine the current flowing through the bulbs (& battery).b) Determine the voltage across each bulb.c) In a series circuit with bulbs of different resistances, is a bulb with higher resistance likely to be brighter or dimmer than a bulb with a smaller resistance?

Draw a circuit diagram of electric circuit containing a cell, key and ammeter, a resistor of 20 ohm in series with a combination of two resistors (each 4 ohm) in parallel and a voltmeter across the parallel combination. Will the potential difference across the 2ohm resistor be same as that across the parallel combination of 4 ohm resistors. Explain?

Consider the circuit below (picture attached) How would you add a resistor with a resistance of 7.00 Ω to the circuit so that the current through the 3.0 Ω resistor is maximized? (This is already answered but I believe this correlates with part b. For this part the new resistor must be in parallel with the 4 ohm resistor) By how much does the current through 3.0 Ω resistor increase when you do what was descibed above? (Must be in units of ampheres please.)
