A. Propose two ways in which multiple identical light bulbs can be connected to a battery. Draw a diagram for each type of connection using "engineering" notation for light bulbs, batteries, and the wires. B. Which type of connection will cause all of the bulbs to go out if a single light bulb in the chain is damaged? Explain why that happens. C. Which type of connection will continue to work even if a light bulb (or multiple) in the chain is damaged? Explain why that happens. D. Can you think of a reason why incandescent bulbs were connected in the way that they were? Support your argument with calculations. Presume a light chain made of 20 incandescent bulbs connected to a 120V "battery" (wall outlet), each with a resistance of 12 Ohms. HINT: Calculate the current and the power in a circuit connected in each of the configurations from parts B and C
