**Understanding Headlight Connections in Electrical Circuits****Problem Statement:**A car has 2 headlights, and their power is derived from the car’s battery. The filament in one burns out, but the other headlight stays on. How are these 2 headlights connected?**Answer Choices:**1. ⃝ Impossible to say2. ⃝ In series3. ⃝ In parallel4. ⃝ One bulb in series, the other in parallel**Analysis:**When one headlight burns out and the other remains on, this indicates that the headlights are not in a series configuration. In a series circuit, if one component (headlight) fails, the entire circuit is interrupted, and all components would go out. Therefore, the correct answer is that the headlights are connected in parallel (Option 3). In a parallel circuit, each component operates independently, so if one headlight fails, the other continues to function.

The correct answer is option (c) i.e. In parallel

A car has 2 headlights, and their power is derived from the car's battery. The filament in one burns out, but the other headlight stays on. How are these 2 headlights connected? O Impossible to say O In series O In parallel O One bulb in series, the other in parallel.

Some strings of holiday lights are wired in series to save wiring costs. An old version utilized bulbs that break the electrical connection, like an open switch, when they burn out. If one such bulb burns out, what happens to the others? If such a string operates on 120 V and has 40 identical bulbs, what is the normal operating voltage of each? Newer versions use bulbs that short circuit, like a closed switch, when they burn out. If one such bulb burns out, what happens to the others? If such a string operates on 120 V and has 39 remaining identical bulbs, what is then the operating voltage of each?

3) A 5.8 V ideal battery, a 30MN resistor, a capacitor, and a switch S are all con- nected together in series. The capacitor is circular and has a radius of 4.40 cm. The gap between the two plates of the capacitor is 1mm wide. At time t=0, the switch closes and the capacitor begins to get charged. The electric field between the plates is uniform. At t = 160usec, find B inside the capacitor, at radial distance 3.2 cm.
