Question
Please help! Questions 1. When you wire two light bulbs in series what quantity is the same for each light bulb, current or voltage? How about when the two light bulbs in parallel? 2. Explain why the constant b in the linear relation y mx b has to be zero for Ohm's Law. 3. Did you see any nonlinearity in the light bulb measurements? If so, at what current did the slope begin to change? Explain why you think the slope (and therefore the resistance) changed at higher currents. Hint: what is happening to the light bulb when you make the current very high? 4. The current through the wire in the light bulb heats the filament until it glows. However, in steady state the same amount of heat that enters the light bulb
Explanation / Answer
1) When light bulbs are in series,the current through them is same and volatge is different,when two light bulbs are in parallel,then voltage across each bulb is same and current through them is different
