  1. Assuming all bulbs are identical voltage is shared equally between all the bulbs.

    Therefore 6 bulbs receive 9 volts

                      1 bulb receive 9/6volts=3/2volts


  2. That would depend upon the resistance of each bulb.  In general, all share the same current.  The voltage drop would be about equal to (current * resistance of a bulb).  If all are equal, then I = E/R(total)  = Ve/r1 = Ve/r2...=Ve/r9
