In order to make things easier to describe and explain, let's call
the resistance of each bulb 'R', and the battery voltage 'V'.
a). In series, the total resistance is 3R.
In parallel, the total resistance is R/3.
Changing from series to parallel, the total resistance of the circuit
decreases to 1/9 of its original value.
b). In series, the total current is V / (3R) .
In parallel, the total current is 3V / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the total current in the circuit
increases to 9 times its original value.
c). In series, the power dissipated by the circuit is
(V) · V/3R = V² / 3R .
In parallel, the power dissipated by the circuit is
(V) · 3V/R = 3V² / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the power dissipated by
the circuit (also the power delivered by the battery) increases
to 9 times its original value.
Current flow depends on other things in addition to the circuit configuration.
If the SAME voltage is applied to some arrangement of the SAME components, the greatest current will occur when they are all in parallel.
Answer
D.Diffraction
Explanation
Diffraction is a property that is experienced by waves when they come across a barrier when they are in motion.
The ways tends to curve behind the barrier. This is called diffraction of waves.
Now, sound is a wave and it also experience diffraction. . So the brother will be able to hear the sound due to diffraction
