What would happen if three 6 volt light bulbs were connected as shown to a 6 volt battery?
What would happen if three 6-volt light bulbs were connected as shown to a 6-volt battery? How would their brightnesses compare to just having a single 6-volt light bulb connected to a 6-volt battery? The three light bulbs would glow dimly.
What is the resistance of a 6 volt battery?
1.2 ohms
A 6 volt battery with 1.2 ohms internal resistance is connected across two light bulbs in parallel whose resistance is 12 ohms each.
What is the formula for equivalent resistance?
The sum of the current in each individual branch is equal to the current outside the branches. The equivalent or overall resistance of the collection of resistors is given by the equation 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 …
Can a 6 volt battery power a light bulb?
The voltage rating of bulbs in normal use are 2.5, 3.5, 6 and 12V. For example a 6V bulb could be run from a 4.5 volt battery but with reduced light output. Also a 6 volt battery could run a 3.5V bulb causing it to glow brighter and with likely shorter life.
How does the voltage across the batteries compare to the voltage across the bulb Why do you think this is true?
Explanation: The voltage across a bulb is the same as the battery voltage in a series circuit ONLY IF the bulb and the battery are the only components in the circuit. If there are any other loads in series with the bulb, the voltage across a bulb is NOT the same as the battery voltage in a series circuit.
Do parallel circuits have the same voltage?
A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

How to Install a Six Volt Battery in a Flashlight
- Remove the cover protecting the lens of the 6V flashlight.
- Unscrew the head that holds the lens.
- Replace the new battery inside the tube with the “+” end of the battery facing up.
- Screw the head back onto the flashlight tube.
