Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 523
Question: If two bulbs of wattage 25 and 30, each rated at 220 volts, are connected in series with a 440 volt supply, which bulb will fuse
[MP PET 2000]
Options:
A) 25 W bulb
B) 30 W bulb
C) Neither of them
D) Both of them
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In series, $ P _{Consumed}\propto \frac{1}{P _{Rated}}\propto V _{Applied} $ i.e. more voltage appears on smaller wattage bulb, so 25 W bulb will fuse
