Question

Please solve Problem A ~ E with explanatoin.

III. Bulbs in parallel Set up a two-bulb circuit with identical bulbs so that their terminals are connected together as shown. Bulbs connected together in this way are said to be connected in parallel. A. Compare the brightness of the bulbs in this circuit What can you conclude from your observation about the amount of current through each bulb? 1. Describe the current in the entire circuit. Base your answer on your observations. In particular, how does the current through the battery seem to divide and recombine at the junctions of the two parallel branches? 2.

Explanation / Answer

A) Brightness is same.

(1) Amount of current through each bulb is same.

(2) The current through the entire circuit is the sum of the currents through each bulb.

B) Equal.

Current through a single bulb battery is lesser.

C) Current through the battery will remain the same.

As the branches are increased, total circuit resistance decreases and vice cersa.

D) Yes

E) No
