Question 28 (ii)
$B_{1}, B_{2}, a n d B_{3}$ are three identical bulbs connected as shown in figure. When all the three bulbs glow, a current of 3A is recorded by the ammeter A.
(ii) What happens to the reading of $A_{1}, A_{2} A_{3}$ and A when the bulb $B_{2}$ gets fused?

Solution

(ii) $A_{2}$ - Zero
Total resistance can be found out by the ratio of total resistance and total current(When all bulbs glow)
$T o t a l r e s i s t a n c e = \frac{4.5}{3} = 1.5$
Therefore, total current = $\frac{4.5}{2.25} = 2 A$
Since bulb 1 and bulb 3 are identical, 1 A of current will flow through each.
$A_{1}$ shows 1 ampere, $A_{2}$ shows zero, $A_{3}$ shows 1 ampere and A shows 2 amperes.
