very simple

consider two lamps with resistance R1 and R2 which are coneeted in parallel R1>R2

if the lamp of resistance R1 now burns out, how will the illumination produced change?

will the illumination remain same
or decrease
or increase

Now if the resistors r connected in series and the lamp of resistance R1 alone is plugged in and R2 now burns out, how will the illumination produced change?

will the illumination remain same
or decrease
or increase

Assume dat the lighting circuit will be of negligible resistance

Hint and solution!!!

Define: Illumination

for the second case after the resistor is burnt then no current will flow through the circuit and therefore the illumination will lgoes to zero...

sir correct me
