$A$ current of $1 \ A$ flows in a series circuit containing an electric lamp and a conductor of $5 \ \Omega$ when connected to a $10 \ V$ battery. Calculate the resistance of the electric lamp. Now,if a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel with this series combination,what change (if any) in the current flowing through the $5 \ \Omega$ conductor and the potential difference across the lamp will take place? Give reason.
