1. | The three bulbs in the simulation are identical. What is their resistance? If just one of these bulbs was connected to the 120-volt battery, how much power would be dissipated in the bulb? |
2. | For the purposes of the simulation the resistance of the bulbs is assumed to be constant. This is not actually true – how (and why) does the resistance of a bulb change as the bulb gets brighter? You may need to do some further reading, but you can find the answer in your textbook. |
