Explain. iii) What happens to light intensity of a lamp in a series circuit when more lamps are added in the circuit? iv) Explain why the terminal potential difference of a battery decreases when current drawn from it is increased. v) What are the difficulties in testing whether the filament of a lighted bulb obeys ohms law? vi) A potential difference is applied across the ends of a copper wire. What is the effect on the drift velocity of free electrons by increasing the potential difference? vii) A potential difference is applied across the ends of a copper wire. What is the effect on the drift velocity of free electrons by decreasing the length and the temperature of the wire? viii)A conducting wire of resistance R is cut into three equal parts and then these parts are joined in parallel. Calculate the equivalent resistance. ix) Find the equivalent resistance for the combination shown in the figure. Resistance of each resistor is R.
