Answer #1

The voltage across a conductor can be measured if the conductor is offering some resistance. In absence of lamp, the voltage across the lamp disappears and the voltage across remaing four lamps increases and is equal to one fourth of line voltage.

The voltage across anu conducor is given by

V=iR (R is resistance offered by the conductor and i is current flow)
