What happens to the voltage What happens to the voltage
across the resistor across the resistor RR11 when the when the
switch is closed? The voltage will:switch is closed? The voltage will:
With the switch closed, the addition of
R2 to R3 decreases the equivalent decreases the equivalent
resistanceresistance, so the current from the current from the
battery increasesbattery increases. This will cause an
increase in the voltage across increase in the voltage across RR11 .

closed, what happens?closed, what happens?
a) both bulbs go out
b) intensity of both bulbs increases
c) intensity of both bulbs decreases
d) A gets brighter and B gets dimmer
e) nothing changes
When the switch is open, the point the point
between the bulbs is at 12 Vbetween the bulbs is at 12 V. But so But so
is the point between the batteriesis the point between the batteries. If
there is no potential difference, then
no current will flow once the switch is
closed!! Thus, nothing changes.
