Answer:

As most economies witness rapid expansion, demand for power is projected to increase significantly. Though most economies have invested in fossil fuels, renewable and sustainable sources present great possibilities for cheap and reliable electricity. One energy resource that ranks among the top renewable and sustainable sources is tidal energy.

Tidal energy or tidal power is a form of renewable energy obtained due to alternating sea levels. The kinetic energy from the natural rise and fall of tides is harnessed and converted into electricity. Tides are caused by the combined gravitational forces of the moon, sun, and earth. However, tides are influenced most by the moon. The moon’s gravitational force is so strong that it tugs the ocean into a bulge. The high and low tides create tidal currents, which are essential in the generation of this kind of energy, mostly prevalent in coastal areas.

Answer:

The bulbs should be connected in parallel.

Explanation:

We want to find out a way to hook up 2 light bulbs and a battery so that when one bulb burns out or is disconnected the other bulbs stays lit.

We must connect the two bulbs in parallel so that even when one bulb is burns out, it will have no effect on the other bulb and the 2nd bulb will keep on working. The current flowing in each bulb will depend upon the resistance of each bulb and the voltage will be same across each bulb.

On the other hand, if we use a series circuit then if one bulb burns out then the there is no flow of current in the circuit and therefore, the second bulb will not be operational.

The current flowing through each bulb is given by

I = V/R

The voltage across each bulb is given by

V = IReq

Where I is the current and Req is the equivalent resistance of the two bulbs connected in parallel and is given by

Req = (R₁*R₂)/(R₁+R₂)

The connection diagram is attached where two bulbs are connected in parallel and are power with a battery.
