Thank you :D I guess I did know haha. Any chance you could help with this?stockzahn said:
What is the p.d. across X?Meezus said:Thank you :D I guess I did know haha. Any chance you could help with this?
a) I know how to draw the circuit.
b) I'm completely stuck on B. I'm guessing it involves omhs law but I can't see where.
c) I can answer C with Potential difference (V) = current (I) x resistance (R).
d) I'm not sure how to work out this.

In order to achieve normal brightness with six 2V lamps, you will need to connect them in a series circuit. This means connecting the positive terminal of one lamp to the negative terminal of the next lamp, creating a continuous loop.
Each lamp will require a voltage of 2V in order to achieve normal brightness in a series circuit. This means that the total voltage required for all six lamps will be 12V.
Yes, you can use a 12V battery to power the six lamps in a series circuit. Make sure to connect the positive terminal of the battery to the first lamp and the negative terminal to the last lamp in the circuit.
If one of the lamps burns out, it will break the circuit and all the other lamps will go out as well. You will need to replace the burned out lamp in order to restore the circuit and achieve normal brightness.
Yes, there is a limit to how many lamps can be connected in a series circuit. As you add more lamps, the voltage will be divided among them, resulting in lower brightness for each lamp. It is recommended to limit the number of lamps to no more than 10 in a series circuit.
