Fig. shows three similar lamps L1, L2, and L3

connected across a power supply. If the lamp L3. fuses, how will the light emitted by L1, and L2, change ?

a
no change
b
brilliance of L1, decreases and that of L2 increases
c
brilliance of both L1 and L2 increases
d
brilliance of both L1 and L2, decreases

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Let R be the resistance of each lamp. If E be the applied the circuit I, is given byi1=ER+(R/2)=2E3RCurrent flowing through L2 or L3=122E3R=E3RWhen L3 is fused, the whole current flows through L1 and L2. Thusi2=E2RSo, current through L1 decreases and through L2 increases.
