b and c only
a and c only
Two light bulbs P and Q are identical in all respects, except that P's filament is thicker than Q's. If the same potential difference is applied to each, then
P will burn brighter because it has the greater resistance.
Q will burn brighter because it has the greater resistance.
P will burn brighter because it has the lower resistance
Q will burn brighter because it has the lower resistance
