So if I have two light bulbs with different wattage how could I show what happens to them in series and parallel. The voltage remains the same.

When the bulbs are connected in parallel, the voltage across the bulbs

are equal. The bulb with the highest wattage rating draws the most current.

When the bulbs are connected in series, the same current flows through each bulb. However, it is difficult to
calculate the voltage rop across each
bulb because of the non-linearity of
their resistance. The bulb with the
highest wattage rating will have the
lowest voltage across it.

To understand what happens to light bulbs with different wattage when connected in series and parallel, we need to consider the electrical concepts of voltage, current, and resistance.

In a series connection, the components (light bulbs in this case) are connected one after another on the same path, forming a single loop. This means that the current passing through each component is the same. In your case, where the voltage remains the same, a light bulb with a higher wattage will have a lower resistance compared to a light bulb with a lower wattage. According to Ohm's Law (V = I * R), where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance, if voltage is constant, a lower resistance will result in a higher current. So, the light bulb with higher wattage will draw more current and therefore emit more light.

In a parallel connection, the components are connected side by side, creating multiple paths for current. Each component has its own branch, and the voltage across all components is the same. In this case, the current splits among the branches depending on the resistance of each component. So, the light bulb with higher wattage will have a lower resistance and will draw more current, emitting more light.

To summarize, when connecting light bulbs with different wattage in series, the light bulb with higher wattage will have a lower resistance and thus draw more current, resulting in more light. In a parallel connection, the light bulb with higher wattage will also draw more current and emit more light.

It is essential to note that when working with electrical circuits, safety precautions should be taken, such as turning off the power supply before making any connections or modifications.
