The bulbs that will burn brightest from the given circuit.
Answer to Problem 26PP
Bulb with resistances
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The potential in parallel combination remains same while the current remains same in series. Also, in the series combination of the resistances, the net resistance is always greater than the individual resistances. While in the parallel combination of the resistances, the net resistance is always less than the individual resistances.
Now, the bulb with less resistance or with the great potential difference across it, will burn brightest.
Consider the given circuit, the bulb with resistances
Conclusion:
Hence, the bulb with resistances
