Consider the diagram at the right of a parallel circuit. Each light bulb in the circuit has an identical resistance. Use the labeled points on the diagram to answer the following questions. Each question may have one, less than one, or more than one answer.
a. The electric potential at point A is the same as the electric potential at point(s) ____. Include all that apply, if any apply.
b. The electric potential at point D is the same as the electric potential at point(s) ____. Include all that apply, if any apply.
c. The electric potential at point J is the same as the electric potential at point(s) ____. Include all that apply, if any apply.
d. The electric potential difference between points A and J is the same as the electric potential difference between points ___ and ____. Include all that apply, if any apply.
e. The electric potential difference between points D and G is the same as the electric potential difference between points ___ and ____. Include all that apply, if any apply.
f. The current at point A is the same as the current at point(s) ___. Include all that apply, if any apply.
g. The current at point B is the same as the current at point(s) ___. Include all that apply, if any apply.
h. The current at point C is the same as the current at point(s) ___. Include all that apply, if any apply.
i. The current at point D is the same as the current at point(s) ___. Include all that apply, if any apply.
j. If the light bulb located between points D and G were to be replaced by a bulb of greater resistance, then the current at point(s) ___ would be decreased. Include all that apply, if any apply.
k. If the light bulb located between points D and G were to be replaced by a bulb of greater resistance, then the electric potential difference between points ___ and ___ would be increased. Include all that apply, if any apply.
l. If the light bulb located between points D and G were to go out, then the current would decrease at point(s) ___. Include all that apply, if any apply.
