Question

(1)Consider the circuit in the diagram, with six identical bulbs, three switches, and a battery. For the state with switches 2 and 3 closed, 1 open, rank the bulbs in the order from brightest to dimmest.

(2)Consider the current flowing through bulb 5.

All switches are closed, then switch 1 is opened. Does the current through the bulb increase, decrease, or stay the same?

All switches are closed, then switch 2 is opened. How does the current through bulb 5 change?

Then switch 1 is also opened. How does the current through bulb 5 change?

Finally, switch 3 is opened as well. How does the current through bulb 5 change now?

Explanation / Answer

1)

6> 1> 4=5

bulb six has same voltage drop as the rest bulbs , but current through it is higher as compared to others.

Current throguh bulb 5 is less than 6 but more than 4 and 5

2) Current will increase switch S1 is opened(ans) . due to increase in circuit current.

Current will increase through 5 when S2is opened.

When S1 is opened this time Current decreases (ans) due to increase in circuit resistance.

When S3 is opened current remains same.(ans)
