Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To understand why an electric bulb becomes dim when an electric heater in a parallel circuit is switched on, and why the dimness decreases after some time, we can break down the explanation into several steps.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understanding the Circuit Configuration**:
- The electric bulb and the electric heater are connected in parallel. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each component is the same.
2. **Power and Resistance Relationship**:
