Series/Parallel Circuits: Two 100-W light bulbs of fixed resistance are to be connected to an ideal 120-V source. What are the current, potential difference, and dissipated power for each bulb when they are connected(a) in parallel (the normal arrangement)?(b) in series?
What will be an ideal response?
(a) 0.83 A in each; 120 V for each; 100 W in each (200 W total)
(b) 0.42 A in each; 60 V for each; 25 W in each (50 W total)
