Two light bulbs,a thick-filament one and a thin-filament one,are connected in series to a battery.The voltage is greater across the lamp with the
A)thick filament.
B)thin filament.
C)same for both

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Ohm's Law, the voltage drop across a component in a series circuit is directly proportional to its resistance. Since the thin filament bulb has a higher resistance than the thick filament bulb, it will have a greater voltage drop across it. Therefore, the voltage will be greater across the lamp with the thin filament.
