Three light bulbs with different resistances are connected in parallel to a battery. Which one of the following statements is true? Explain. a) The current is the same through each bulb. b) The power dissipated by each bulb is the same c) If one bulb burns out, they all go out. d) Adding more bulbs in parallel will not affect the bulbs already lit.
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
