OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

Bulb A would be the brightest, then B and C

OpenStudy (dylangr1997):

A would be he brightest because it has the most direct energy. B is the second brightest, C is last

OpenStudy (radar):

Assuming similar light bulbs, Bulb No. 1 would be the brightest Bulbs No.2 and No. 3 would be at the same intensity. Bulb No. 1 has the applied voltage and power would be E squared divided by the resistance of the bulb. No. 2 and No. 3 have 1/2 the applied voltage across each thus their power consumed is 1/4 that of No. 1.

Mhmm... okay thanks! one last question... If I3 is 1.7 A and I1 is 1.1 A, what would be the current through bulb 2?

OpenStudy (radar):

The difference, 1.7-1.1 or .6A

OpenStudy (radar):

The same amount is also flowing thru bulb 3. As No. 2 and No. 3 are connected in series.

Ohhhh, okay! I see. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it(:
