Chapter 2.8, Problem 16PP
Refer to Fig. 2.55 and assume there are six light bulbs that can be connected in parallel and six different light bulbs that can be connected in series. In either ease, each light bulb is to operate at 40 W. If the voltage at the plug is 115 V for the parallel and series connections, calculate the current through and the voltage across each bulb for both eases.
