Suppose that the resistors in the various circuit diagrams represented the resistances of lightbulbs. When a lightbulb "burns out," the circuit is open through that particular component, that is, $R$ is infinite. Would the remaining bulbs continue to burn for the following conditions? If so, would the bulbs burn more brightly (draw more current) or burn more dimly (draw less current), if:
(a) $R_{2}$ burned out in the circuit in Part A?
(b) $R_{1}$ burned out in the circuit in Part B?
(c) $R_{3}$ also burned out in the circuit in Part B?
(d) $R_{3}$ burned out in the circuit in Part $\mathrm{C}$ ?

Problem 3

Explain the effect of replacing $R_{2}$ with $R_{4}$ in Procedure $12 .$ (Explain theoretically even if Procedure 12 of the experiment was not done.)

Problem 4

For the circuit in Fig. $26.3, V=12 \mathrm{~V}, R_{1}=4 \Omega, R_{2}=6 \Omega$, and $R_{3}=3 \Omega$. Show that the power supplied by the battery $(P=I V)$ is equal to that dissipated in the resistors $\left(I^{2} R\right)$. What principle does this illustrate? Use the accompanying table. (Consider values significant to two decimal places.)

Problem 5

Given three resistors of different values, how many possible resistance values could be obtained by using one or more of the resistors? (List the specific combinations, for example, $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ in series.)
