If bulb 2 in Figure $\mathrm{P} 19.40$ burns out and then acts as an open circuit (i.e., an infinite resistance), what happens to the brightness of bulbs 1 and $3 ?$ Assume the resistances of the other bulbs do not change. i. The brightness of both bulbs stays the same. ii. Bulbs 1 and 3 both get brighter. iii. Bulbs 1 and 3 both get dimmer. iv. Bulb 1 gets dimmer while bulb 3 gets brighter. v. Bulb 1 gets brighter while bulb 3 gets dimmer. Hint: The brightness of a bulb increases as its current increases.

Find the total savings in electrical load and the percentage increase in illumination if instead of using twelve 150 W tungsten-filament lamps, we use twelve 80 W fluorescent tubes. It may be assumed that: (i) there is a choke loss of 25 percent of the rated lamp wattage, (ii) the average luminous efficiency throughout the life of each lamp is 15 lm/W, and for each tube is 40 lm/W, and (iii) the coefficient of utilization remains the same in both cases.
