Problem

An ideal 12 V12\,\text{V} battery is connected to a single 6 Ω6\,\Omega lightbulb. (a) Calculate the power dissipated by the bulb. (b) The same battery is now connected to two identical 6 Ω6\,\Omega bulbs wired in parallel. Calculate the power dissipated by each bulb in this arrangement and state the ratio of the brightness of one bulb in parallel to the single-bulb case.
