Question

If the lamps are both the same in the figure given below and if A₁ reads 0.50 A, what do A₂, A₃, A₄ and A₅ read? 

Answer 1

Since the lamps are the same as given in the question, the resistance of both the lamps will be the same. Therefore, the current is distributed equally. Since the combination shows a 0.50 A current in the circuit by the ammeter A₁, the current shown by A₂, A₃, A₄ and A₅ will be the same and equal to 0.25 A.
