Acircuit constrains one light bulb and one battery. what happens to the total resistance in the circuit if you replace one light bulb with a string of four identical bulbs? why?

-- If the four light bulbs are in series, then the total resistance becomes four times as much as it was with a single bulb, because now, the current has to push through one light bulb four times.

-- If the four light bulbs are in parallel, then the total resistance becomes 1/4 as much as it was with a single bulb, because now, the current can split up into four equal streams, and each stream only has to push through a single light bulb.  

spare some change and give it to the poor
