Are these circuit diagrams equivalent?

[pwi_rk14]

The circuit includes three identical light bulbs and a capactior that is fully charged. The power supply provides a steady potential difference. Which light bulb(s) is brightest? I attached the diagrams.

My answer is C. Either that or A and B.
Are my rewritten drawings equivalent to the original?

Consider: What's the voltage drop across Resistor A, B, C and the capacitor in the original. Then compare that to the other 2. Remember wire has a 'negligible' resistance, so across bare wire the potential has to be the same. I'm not answering your homework for you, though.

in the original diagram, after current flows through A and through B, it has to go through the horizontal bar in the middle. What happens there, do they cancel?

 

[BiGyElLoWhAt]

Does current flow through the middle? Current flows from higher potential to lower potential, right? Kind of like a ball at the top of a "potential hill". Label the left junction point 1 and label the right junction point 2 and figure out what the potential is at the points. Then post the current between the to points.
*Edit: The junctions after A and B respectively

Can I pretend the capacitor isn't there since it's fully charged?
And if I do, would A+B be in series with C?

Yes, and yes.
