Question
Two identical incandescent light bulbs, each with resistance R = 2 Ω,
are connected to a source with E = 8 V and negligible internal resistance.
Find the current through each bulb, the potential difference
across each bulb, and the power delivered to each bulb and to the entire
network if the bulbs are connected (a) in series and (b) in parallel.
(c) Suppose one of the bulbs burns out; that is, its filament breaks and
current can no longer flow through it. What happens to the other bulb
in the series case? In the parallel case?
