$B_{1}, B_{2}$ and $B_{3}$ are three identical bulbs connected as shown in the figure. When all the three bulbs glow, a current of $3 \,A$ is recorded by the ammeter $A$.
$(i)$ What happens to the glow of the other two bulbs when the bulb $B_{1}$ gets fused?
$(ii)$ What happens to the reading of $A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}$ and A when the bulb $B_{2}$ gets fused ?
$(i)$ The glow of the bulbs $B _{2}$ and $B _{3}$ will remain the same.
$(ii)$ $A _{1}$ shows $1$ ampere, $A _{2}$ shows zero, $A _{3}$ shows $1$ ampere and $A$ shows $2$ ampere.
Draw a schematic diagram of an electric circuit. (in the "on" position) consisting of a battery of five cells of $2\, V$ each, a $5\, \Omega$ resistor, a $8\, \Omega$ resistor, a $12$ $\Omega$ resistor and a plug key, all connected in series. An ammeter is put in the circuit to measure the electric current through the resistors and a voltmeter is connected so as to measure the potential difference across the $12\, \Omega$ resistor.
