Resistivity

.         (a)     either   (If in parallel) when one bulb fails, other bulbs stay on
or        (If in parallel) can identify which bulb has failed; (1)                                1

  (b)   (i)      P = VI (1)
0.5 = 240 I
I = 2.1 × 10–3 A 1 s.f. in answer (–1) once only (1)                                      2

  (ii)   R = V/I (1)
= 240/(2.1 × 10–3)
