Hey guys, was wondering if you could help me with this question:
What determines the brightness of a lightbulb?
I think it would be power (and therefor voltage and current since P = VI) as power is used in the measurement of energy delivered. Why is it the case then that, from the questions i am doing, it states that if you have a simple circuit such as the one shown in the following link (page 11, question 5), why doesn't the brightness vary when one part of the parrallel circuit is removed?

Question 5, page 11
Thanks
