1.) PART ONE
In a circuit of two lamps in series, if the
current through one lamp is 5 A, what is the
current through the other lamp?
Answer in units of A
2.) PART TWO
If 10 V is applied to the above circuit and the
voltage across the first lamp is 1 V, what is
the voltage across the second lamp?
Answer in units of V

Answer in units of V
-
1. The current is a flow, and will be the same flow through both lamps, so the answer is 5A
2. The lamps act as a voltage divider, so if 1V is dropped across the first lamp then 9V will be dropped across the other lamp.
Hope this helps!
