AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the effect of replacing a 50 W bulb with a 100 W bulb in a series circuit containing a heater. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Understand the Series Circuit Configuration** - In a series circuit, the total current flowing through the circuit is the same for all components. The total voltage from the mains is divided among the components based on their resistances. **Step 2: Calculate the Resistance of the Bulbs** ...
