You may use the above applet to solve the following questions
(A)Set up the circuit with a single bulb and the battery combination as shown. Measure the potential difference across the battery and across the bulb. Compare the potential difference across the battery and the bulb. Are they the same or different?
(B)Using the applet, set up the circuit as shown and measure the potential difference across the battery as well as each of the bulbs.
- Are the potential difference of the above mentioned components the same?
- Rank the potential difference across bulb 1, bulb 2 and the bulb 3 in decreasing order.
- Does the potential difference ranking coincide with the brightness ranking of the bulbs?
- What would be the voltmeter reading if it was used to measure the potential difference across bulb 1 and bulb 2 together.
