Consider the circuit shown, in which three lights, each ofidentical resistance R, are connected in parallel.
For each of the questions the answer has to be one ofthese:
increases
decreases, but not to zero
decreases, to zero
stays the same
a.) What happens to the intensity (brightness) of each bulb whenthe switch is closed?
light 1: light 2: light 3:
Explain.
b.) What happens to each of the following currents when the switchis closed?
current through light 1: current through light 2: current through light 3: total current flowing out of battery:
