Three similar light bulbs are connected to a voltage DC supply as shown in the figure. Each bulb operates at normal brightness and the ammeter (of negligible resistance) registers a steady current. The filament of one of the bulbs breaks. What happens to the ammeter reading and to the brightness of the remaining bulbs?

A cell of internal resistances r is connected to a load of resistance R. Energy is dissipated in the load, but some thermal energy is also wasted in the cell. The efficiency of such an arrangement is found from the expression, Energy dissipated in the loadEnergy dissipated in the complete circuit. Which of the following gives the efficiency in this case?
