They are placed in series with the C generator (i.e. wall socket), then in parallel with the C generator. The C generator provides rms 10. Calculate the average power delivered y the C generator in each case to find the ratio of light emitted of oth cases. Series case: Since the uls are in series, the current must e the same through oth and the voltage drop across oth is the sum of the voltage drops across each: 1 1+ The net resistance in series is the sum of the resistances, + age of 8

Since the only items using power is the light uls. This is also the ratio of light emitted.. n Back to the Future, the time machine is said to need 1.1 gigawatts of power.
