Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 729

Question: Forty electric bulbs are connected in series across a 220 V supply. After one bulb is fused the remaining 39 are connected again in series across the same supply. The illumination will be

Options:

A) more with 40 bulbs than with 39

B) more with 39 bulbs than with 40

C) equal in both the cases

D) in the ratio $ 40^{2}:39^{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Since, the voltage is same for the two combinations,

Therefore $ H\propto \frac{1}{R} $ . Hence, the combination of 39 bulbs will glow more.
