Q. 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 consist of the battery and light bulb 1. The more current flows through a light bulb, their equivalent resistance is

R_{e q} = R_{1} + R_{2}

. By contrast, when two reisistors are wired in parallel, their net resisance is given by

\frac{1}{R_{e q}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

Bulb 2 is now screwed in as a result, bulb 1 :

Q. A simple circuit consists of a battery and a light bulb. A second identical light bulb is then added in series to the first light bulb.
What affect does this have on the brightness of the first light bulb?
