Textbook Question
Chapter 35, Problem 7A
If one of three lamps blows out when connected in parallel, what happens to the current in the other two?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The effect of blow out of one lamp from the three lamps in a parallel circuit.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The electric devices in parallel circuit are not connected by end to end connection. The removal of one device from the parallel circuit does not affect the flow of supply in the circuit.
The voltage for each device in the parallel circuit remains same and each device acts independently. The interruption in the supply of one device does not affects the supply the other devices in the parallel circuit.
Conclusion:
The blow out of one lamp from three lamps in the parallel circuit does not affect the current in other two lamps.

Set the wavelength to the (default) 0.55 microns and a single on-axis field point at infinite object distance. Set the image distance to 200 mm. Make the first surface the stop insure that the lens is fully filled (that is, that the entrance beam has a radius of 10 mm). Use the lens-maker's equation to calculate initial glass curvatures assuming you want a symmetric, bi-convex lens with an effective focal length of 200 mm. Get this working and examine the RMS spot size using the "Text" tab of the Spot Diagram analysis tab (OpticStudio) or the Spd command of the text widnow (OSLO). You should find the lens is far from diffraction limited, with a spot size of more than 100 microns. Now let's optimize this lens.
