Question

Consider the circuit shown in parts A and B picture. in part A a light bulb is plugged into a wall outlet that has a voltage of 120 volts. A current I passes through the circuit and the bulb turns on. in part B a second identical light bulb is connected in parallel in the circuit. How does the total current in circuit B compare with that in circuit A? the current is the same, I, as in part A. the current is twice as much. 2I, as in part A the current in part B is zero amperes. the current is one fourth as much, 0 25I. as in part A. the current is one half as much. 0.5I. as in part A

Explanation / Answer

Since, both bulbs are identical, and connected in parallel to same voltage, both will draw the same current i.e. I

Therefore, total current drawn is 2I
