Consider the circuits shown in figure 4. Each represents a configuration of LEDs driven by a voltage or a current source. For the purpose of this problem you can model the LED as a resistor. The intensity of the LED is proportional to the power dissipated by it. Suppose one LED burns out (i.e. becomes a open circuit), for each configuration shown determine if the intensity of the remaining LEDs becomes brighter, dimmer or stays the same. Support your answers with appropriate calculations. V 2000855 bbb (b) Figure 4: LEDs arranged in different configurations
