Question
Consider the circuit given below where A, B and C are three identical light bulbs of constant resistance.
  1. List the bulbs in order of increasing brightness.
  2. If C burns out, what will be the brightness of A now compared with before?
  3. If B burns out instead, what will be the brightness of A and C compared with before?

Answer

  1. C will be the brightest. Voltage will be distributed equally between A and B, so they will have equal brightness but lesser than that of C.
  2. A gets the same voltage as before, so its brightness remains the same.
  3. If B burns put, A will also stop glowing because it is connected in series with B. However, brightness of C remains the same.

Take three ring shaped magnets, insulated copper wire (1.5m) battery and paper clips. Cut the wire into three pieces. One piece should be about 1m long and the other two 0.25m long each. Take 1m piece of wire and wrap this wire around two fingers to form a coil. Take the loose end of this wire and wrap it once along the diameter of the coil. The two arms of the coil should be directly opposite each other. Bend the paper clip and prepare a holder for the coil. Pile the three magnets on the table. Place the coil above the magnet on the paper clip holder. Take free ends of the wire and connect them to the battery as shown in the figure 5.17. Give a single spin to the coil
