Two students are having a discussion about the following
circuits shown below:
Student 1: The current through the battery in each circuit is
the same. In circuit 2 the current from the battery is divided
between the two bulbs-so each bulb has half the current through it
that the bulb in circuit 1 has through it.
Student 2: We know the current through each of the bulbs in
circuit 2 is the same as through the bulb in circuit 1. That’s
because the bulbs all have the same brightness-and bulbs that are
equally bright have the same current through them. So the flow
through battery in circuit 2 is more than that through the battery
in circuit 1.
Which student do you agree with? Explain.
