Question

Three identical light bulbs are connected in series, then are disconnected and arranged in parallel.  For each of the scenarios below indicate what changes (if any) take place (1 pt. ea.):
Total resistance of the circuit
Total current of the circuit
Power dissipated by the circuit
Voltage used by one of the light bulbs
Resistance of one of the light bulbs

anonymous · Answer

None of the totals are going to change, and the resistance of the light bulb is a material property, so that won't change either. What's left?

anonymous · Answer

power dissipated and voltage used

anonymous · Answer

Just voltage. The power dissipated is for the whole circuit.

anonymous · Answer

how does the voltage change

anonymous · Answer

The bulbs are pretty much resistors. Resistors in series have a voltage drop across each one. In parallel they, they all have the same voltage as the battery.
