If the sign of work is negative,

If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.

Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.

Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.

YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.

(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)

We are asked to compare two series circuits having equal number of light bulbs.
1st circuit is powered by 6 batteries each having a voltage of 1.5V
2nd circuit is powered by a single battery having a voltage of 9V.
The six batteries in the 1st circuit can be connected together in series or in parallel.
When the batteries are connected in series (positive terminal of one battery connected to negative terminal of another battery) their voltage gets added which means
Voltage of pack = number of batteries*voltage of each battery
Voltage of pack = 6*1.5
Voltage of pack = 9 volts
But the current remains same in the series connection since there is only path for the current to flow.
On the other hand, when the batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage remains same but the current increases.
Circuit 1:
In this circuit, we have 6 batteries each of 1.5 volts connected in series to provide a voltage of 9 volts.
We have connected 2 bulbs in this series circuit.
The voltage will be equally divided between two bulbs if both bulbs are identical in construction.
So there will be 4.5 volts across each bulb and both bulbs will have same brightness.
Circuit 2:
In this circuit, we have 1 battery which provide a voltage of 9 volts.
We have connected 2 bulbs in this series circuit just like in circuit 1.
The voltage will be equally divided between two bulbs if both bulbs are identical in construction.
So there will be 4.5 volts across each bulb and both bulbs will have same brightness.
Conclusion:
Both series circuits provide a total voltage of 9 volts to the two bulbs connected in series and the voltage will be equally divided among two bulbs and they will have same brightness. Therefore, both circuits will have same characteristics.
