Let’s apply what we know about circuits to make a short string of Christmas tree lights.Suppose you want to light up your Christmas tree with 3 bulbs. Determine a way to wire together threelight bulbs so that if any one of them goes out (breaks) the other two will remain lit. Assume that youhave available 1 battery, 3 light bulbs, and connecting wire.(a) Make a circuit drawing for the circuit and provide a brief description.(b) Assume that the filament in each light bulb has a resistance of 10 ohms when lit (i.e. hot). If youpower your string of lights with a 9 V source, how much power is dissipated by each light bulb (with all 3bulbs working)?Wired up in parallel, the equivalent resistance is 10/3 ohm. The total power dissipated is 24.3 W.
