Question

There are four identical 1.5V batteries in series with ten identical light bulbs. What is the voltage drop across any single light bulb?
So, since the total voltage drop is 6V, I thought that each bulb would have to take 1/10 of that voltage (giving voltage drop across each bulb as 0.6V). Is that correct, or am I thinking about it wrong?

Explanation / Answer

as the light bulbs are in series so volatge will divide on the bulb.

so volatage on each bulb = total voltage / no. of bulbs = 6 /10 = 0.6 V

so yes you are going right
