Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 558
Question: Two electric bulbs A and B are rated as 60 W and 100 W. They are connected in parallel to the same source. Then,
[KCET 2004]
Options:
A) Both draw the same current
B) A draws more current than B
C) B draws more current than A
D) Current drawn are in the ratio of their resistances
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
$ i\propto \frac{1}{R} $ and $ P\propto \frac{1}{R} $
Therefore $ i\propto P $ i.e. in parallel bulb of higher power will draw more current.
