Three incandescent bulbs of 100 W each are connected in series in an electric circuit. In another circuit, another set of three bulbs of the same voltage are connected in parallel to the same source.
(a) Will the bulb in the two circuits glow with the same brightness? Justify your answer.
(b) Now let one bulb in both the circuits get fused. Will the rest of the bulbs continue to glow in each circuit? Give reason

A touch bulb is rated 2.5 V and 750 mA. Calculate (i) its power, (ii) its resistance and (iii) the energy consumed if this bulb is lighted for four hours.

How will you infer with the help of an experiment that the same current flows through every part of the circuit containing three resistances in series connected to a battery?

A coil of insulated copper wire is connected to a galvanometer. What will happen if a bar magnet is 
(i) Pushed into the coil
(ii) Withdrawn from inside the coil
(iii) Held stationary inside the coil

State the rule to determine the direction of a 
(i) Magnetic field produced around a straight conductor carrying current
(ii) Force experienced by a current carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it.
(iii) current induced in a coil due to its rotation in a magnetic field.

Explain with the help of a labelled diagram the distribution of magnetic field due to a current through a circular loop. Why is it that if a current carrying coil has 'n' turns the field produced at any point is n times as large as that produced by a single turn?

B₁, B₂ and B₃ three identical bulbs connected as shown in Figure when the entire three bulbs glow, a current of 3A is recorded by the ammeter A.

(i) What happens to the glow of the other two bulbs when the bulb B₁ gets fused?
(ii) What happens to the reading of A₁, A₂, A₃ and A when the bulb B₂ gets fused?
(iii) How much power is dissipated in the circuit when all the three bulbs glow together?
