What will happen to the brightness of a string of bulbs hooked up in series when you increase the number of bulbs in the string?

<span>Each light in the string will get dimmer. Let us look at what is causing this. The scenario provided is that of a Series circuit. In the case of a series circuit, the current flowing through each of the load (String of bulbs in our example) is same, while the voltage drops equally across all the bulbs (provided all the bulbs are of the same rating) For example if we have a 230 V AC supply, and we have connected 10 bulbs in series, the voltage across each of the bulbs is (230/10=23 V). As you can see, if you add more bulbs, the voltage at each bulb drops further, causing them to dim. Hence, each light in the string will get dimmer as you add more lights. Option (B) is the answer.</span>

Two blocks of masses M 1 and M 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown in the figure. M

stealth61 [152]

The mass M1 is 7.8 kg

Explanation:

Block M1 is hanging on the string while block M2 is on the frictionless ramp.

We have to write the equations of motion for the two blocks.

- For M1, the only two forces acting on it are the force of gravity $M_1 g$ (downward) and the tension in the string T (upward). So we can write

$M_1 g - T = M_1 a$

where

$M_1$ is the mass of the block

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$a$ is the acceleration of the system

- For M2, the only two forces acting on it are the tension in the string T (acting up along the ramp) and the component of the gravity acting down along the ramp, $M_2 g sin \theta$ . So the equation of motion is
