Question

Fill in the blanks:

Words: Increases, decreases, Dimmer, is the same

1) When we add another lamp into a series circuit, the total resistance _____, this means that the total current _____. Also, the potential difference across each of the lamps ______. This means that the lamps all become_____.

2)When we add another lamp into a parallel circuit in a new branch, the total resistance ________, the current through each lamp ______. Also, the potential difference across each of the lamps ______. This means that the lamps have the same brightness.

Answer 1

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) When we add another lamp into a series circuit, the total resistance increases, this means that the total current is the same. Also, the potential difference across each of the lamps decreases. This means that the lamps all become dimmer.

2)When we add another lamp into a parallel circuit in a new branch, the total resistance decreases, the current through each lamp decreases. Also, the potential difference across each of the lamps is the same. This means that the lamps have the same brightness.
