Can the electric circuit in your house be considered a parallel circuit? Explain.
All six bulbs in the circuit illustrated in the figure are identical. Which of the following arrangements expresses the relative brightness of the light bulbs?Select one:a. C = D > A = B = E = Fb. A = B > C = D > E = Fc. A=B=C=D=E=Fd. A = B = E = F > C = D
In the given diagram below, which of the two bulbs connected in series will be brighter? Why?
Bulb A = R
...
Bulb B = 1/2R
Bulb A will be brighter because it has greater resistance, therefore greater potential difference and at the same time
A
greater power.
Bulb B will be brighter because it has lower resistance therefore lesser potential difference but greater power.
Both bulb A and B will have the same brightness because they are connected in series therefore they have the same
current and at the same time same power.
Both Bulb A and B will not glow because they have different resistance and the connection is series.
