Homework Statement
List the order of brightness of each bulb (while the switch is open) assuming the bulbs are all of the same resistance.
Homework Equations
Ohm's Law: Change in voltage = current divided by resistance
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that bulbs A,C,D,F are all equal in brightness because they are both simple series circuits (while the switch is open). I know that B and E are also equal in brightness as they are a series circuit.
My difficulty begins in that the B and E bulb are in a series and also a parallel circuit. Does this make these two bulbs brighter than bulbs A,C,D,F or dimmer?
Any help with some sort of reference would be very helpful.
