Question

Four identical bulbs, each with a filament resistance of 164 , are connected to a 50-V battery as shown in the diagram below. S1, S2, and S3 represent switches. (a) If S1 and S2 are closed while S3 is open, what is the current through each bulb? bulb 1 A bulb 2 A bulb 3 A bulb 4 A (b) If S3 is closed while S1 and S2 are open, what is the current through each bulb? bulb 1 A bulb 2 A bulb 3 A bulb 4 A (c) If S2 and S3 are closed while S1 is open, what is the current through each bulb? bulb 1 A bulb 2 A bulb 3 A bulb 4 A (d) If S1 and S3 are closed while S2 is open, what is the current through each bulb? bulb 1 A bulb 2 A bulb 3 A bulb 4 A

Explanation / Answer

[1] B1 = B2 = 0.138A
B3 = B4 = 0A

[2] B1 = B3 =B4 = 0.092A
B2 = 0A

[3] B1 = B3 = 0.11A
B2 = B4 = 0.055A

[4] B1 = 0.165A
B2 = 0.11A
B3 = B4 = 0.055A
