The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

We are asked to know the reason why magnetic dipole can be written as U = -m *B. The reason for this was that the negative sign is just showing or indicating the direction of the force. If it if negative, it means that the work done is opposite to the force field.

How is the Sun related to nuclear electromagnetic and heat energy
Snezhnost [94]

-- The source of most of the energy that radiates from the sun is nuclear energy.

-- Most of the energy that radiates from the sun is electromagnetic energy.

-- Heat energy is part of the electromagnetic energy that radiates from the sun.
Other parts include radio, microwave, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-ray energy.
