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?

Solution
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.
