Current flows through a light blub. Suppose a wire is connected across the bulb

Question

Current flows through a light blub. Suppose a wire is connected across the bulb as shown. When the wire is connected,

A. All of the original current continues to flow through the bulb.

B. Half of the original current flows through the wire, and the other half through the bulb.

C. All of the original current flows through the wire and none flows through the bulb.

D. There is no current through the bulb, and the current through the wire is greater than was originally through the bulb.

E. None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

current = V / R. greater the resistance lesser the current passing in parallel . when a wire of zero resistance or negligible is connected to a resistor in parallel the entire current passes through it.this is called short circuiting.
