A limits the current which canflow through B and C^ and that current which does flowdivides between B and C in proportion to their conductivi-ties. If B has a resistance of 110 ohms and C 220 ohms^then B will carry two parts of the current and^ C only one.The combined resistance of all lamps^ Fig.… … Fig. 650 ance of B and divided by the sum of all the resistances. If the resistance of each of the lamps were 110 ohms, the problem would work out thus: 110+110X110 =73 1/3 110+110+110 ^ * In Fig. 650 the total resistance is 110X220 [-110=183 1/3. 110+220 One practical illustration of the above law…
