A MODEL FOR CIRCUITS

PART $2$: POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE

Name

$q,$

c$.$ Consider the following discussion between two students regarding the change in the circuit when the wire in the circuit is cut $($part b$)$:

Student $1$: "I think that bulb B will get brighter. Bulb B used to share the current with bulb C$,$ but now it gets all the current. So bulb $B$ will get brighter."

Student $2$: "I don't think so$.$ Now there aren't as many paths for the current, so the resistance in the circuit has increased. Since the resistance in the circuit has gone up$,$ the current in the circuit decreases. Bulb B will get dimmer."

i$.$ Is Student $1$ correct? Why or why not?
