Thanks for using Brainmass.

Solution:
1. A. Since both bulbs are identical, the voltage drops across the 2 bulbs are equal. So the two will receive half of the supply voltage. So the answer is:
Vbulb = 1.5V

B. Using voltage divider formula, we can get the voltage across the 2-ohm resistor:
V_2*omega = 3V((2*omega)/(2*omega + ...

    The battery is connected with resistance wire and a light bulb. The current and voltage drop is to be calculated.

  • Circuitry Problems

    (B) The problem states that the voltage drop across bulb A is 10 Volts, and that all bulbs are identical. This tells us that there are 6 Volts across the B-C and D-E-G strings (16 - 10 = 6). Thus there are 3 Volts across bulb B.

  • Electrical circuits with capacitors and resistances

    As there is no charge on the capacitor voltage drop across it will be zero. 0 V Part B Just after the circuit is completed, what is the voltage drop across the resistor?
