[5 pts] 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. (1) (2) Which student do you agree with? Explain your reasoning or no credit.
