"Burnout" Consider the circuit above, in which three identical lightbulbs are attached to an ideal battery. If bulb #2 burns out, which of the following will occur? a) Bulbs #1 and #3 are unaffected, thus the total brightness is decreased. b) Bulbs #1 and #3 both get brighter. The total brightness is unchanged. c) Bulbs #1 and #3 both get dimmer. The total brightness is decreased. d) Bulb #1 gets dimmer, but #3 gets brighter. The total brightness is unchanged. e) Bulb #1 gets brighter, but #3 gets dimmer. The total brightness is unchanged. f) Bulb #1 gets dimmer, but #3 gets brighter. The total brightness is decreased. g) Bulb #1 gets brighter, but #3 gets dimmer. The total brightness is decreased. h) Bulb #1 is unaffected, but #3 gets brighter. The total brightness is unchanged. i) Bulb #1 is unaffected, but #3 gets brighter. The total brightness is decreased. j) None of the above.
