Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 173

Question: In the following circuit, bulb rated as 1.5 V, 0.45 W. If bulbs glows with full intensity then what will be the equivalent resistance between X and Y

Options:

A) 0.45 W

B) 1 W

C) 3 W

D) 5 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

When bulb glows with full intensity, then voltage across it will be 1.5 V and voltage across 3 W resistance will be 4.5 V. Current through 3 W resistance $ i=\frac{4.5}{3}=1.5A $ Same current will flow between X and Y So $ V _{XY}=iR _{XY} $

Therefore $ 1.5=1.5R _{XY} $

Therefore $ R _{XY}=1\Omega $
