A compound circuit with an ideal battery and three identical light bulbs.
A compound circuit with an ideal battery and three identical light bulbs.
Three identical incandescent light bulbs, labeled 1, 2, and 3, each with constant resistance \(R\), are connected to an ideal battery of potential difference \(\varepsilon\) as shown in the diagram. Bulb 1 is connected in series with the parallel combination of Bulb 2 and Bulb 3. Which of the following correctly ranks the brightness \(B_1\), \(B_2\), and \(B_3\) of the three bulbs?
