Explanation Consider the resistances of all bulbs to be the same. The brightness of the bulb can be obtained from power dissipation for each bulb. Write the expression for power dissipation ( P ) . P = I 2 R Redraw FIGURE Q23.17 as shown in Figure 1. In Figure 1, I is the total current flowing in the circuit, which splits into two currents I A and I D . Since the greatest amount of current flows in low resistance path, the current flows through the bulbs A, B and C is more compared to the series connected bulbs D and E. As the flow of current in the bulb A is more, the power dissipation ( P A ) is also more which makes the bulb A to be the brightest compared to the bulbs B, C, D and E. The bulbs D and E are connected in series, the current flowing in these two bulbs will be same. So that the power dissipation in two bulbs D and E is same ( P D = P E ) which are less brighter than A bulb

In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves. One such situation is shown below: 0 ст Direct Measurement ©2015 Peter Bohacek I. 20 0 cm 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Which Harmonic is this? Do NOT include units! What is the wavelength of this wave in cm with only no decimal places? If the speed of this wave is 2500 cm/s, what is the frequency of this harmonic (in Hz, with NO decimal places)?
