Use the circuit diagram to decide if the lightbulb will light. Justify your answer.
- correct answer ✔Sample Response: The lightbulb will not light because this
is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all
the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.
Calculate the equivalent resistance for both circuits.
Series circuit:
2 Ω and 4 Ω
Parallel circuit:
2 Ω and 4 Ω
