Draw a circuit diagram of an electric circuit containing a cell, a key, an ammeter, a resistor of 2 Ω in series with a combination of two resistors (4 Ω each) in parallel and a voltmeter across the parallel combination. Will the potential difference across the 2 Ω resistors be the same as that across the parallel combination of 4 Ω resistors? Give reason.

A current of 1 A flows in a series circuit containing an electric lamp and a conductor of 5 Ω when connected to a 10 v battery. Calculate the resistance of the electric lamp.

Now, if a resistance of 10 Ω is connected in parallel with this series combination, what change (if any) in current flowing through 5 Ω  conductor and potential difference across the lamp will take place? Give reason.
