If you were going to connect two light bulbs to one battery, would you use a series or a parallel arrangement? Why? Which arrangement takes more current form the batte
उत्तर
A parallel arrangement will be preferred in this case because a parallel arrangement has less resistance than a series arrangement. Also, in case of any short circuiting, the other bulb remains unaffected. A series arrangement will draw more current from the ba
