To save time and money on transport to and from the University, Ali and Salim decided to buy a used car that they came across at a local auction. The car was in a very good condition, except that one of headlights was burned out. Ali and Salim replaced it with a new one, Soon after that, they noticed that the old light is dimmer than the new one. Ali thinks that the two lights are connected in series with the car's 15 V battery. He used an ammeter to measure the resistances of the old bulb and the new bulb and found them to be 4.3 ohms and 1-3 ohms, respectively. Salim has doubts about Ali's assumption. He believes that the bulbs are connected in parallel. Can you help Ali and Salim with their dispute?
