    A 12-volt battery is connected to two light bulbs, as drawn in Figure 1. Light bulb 1 has resistance 3 ohms, while light bulb 2 has resistance 6 ohms. The battery has essentially no internal resistance, and all the wires are essentially resistanceless, too. When a light bulb is unscrewed, no current flows through that branch of the circuit. For instance, if light bulb 2 is unscrewed, current flows only around the lower loop of the circuit, which consists of...
