7.
Three lights are connected in parallel across a 120 volt source. If one light burns out,
the remaining two will glow dimmer
the remaining two will glow brighter
the remaining two will not light
the remaining two will glow with the same brightness as before

8.
Four equal-value resistors are connected in parallel. Ten volts are applied across the parallel circuit and 2 mA are measured from the source. The value of each resistor is
12.5
200
20 K
50
Answer: Option
Explanation:

10/(R/4) = 2 mA

40/R = 2 mA

R = 40/2 mA

= 40/0.002 A

= 20000 kohm (20 kohm)
