When we switch on the lights one after the other, what is the effect on the resistance of the electric circuit of the house ? On the current flowing in the main circuit?
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
In a house, all lights are in parallel circuits, to a fixed supply voltage 220V. When we switch on lights one after the other, the effective resistance of the circuit goes on decreasing. As a result of it, the main current goes on increasing.
