When connected to a battery, a lightbulb glows brightly. If the battery is reversed and reconnected to the bulb, the bulb will glow (a) brighter (b) dimmer (c) with the same brightness (d) not at all

Answer :

Answer: c) with the same brightness

Explanation: The load in this case the bulb, is not polarized ( it has no positive and negative points) thus any connection relative to the battery (source) will have no effect on it brightness.

Also, brightness is a function of current and in this case the voltage ( from battery) and resistance of load (bulb) is constant, and according to ohms law (V=IR) if the current is constant at the first connection, it will be the same at the reversed connection.
