Q594
Two electric bulbs marked 25W – 220V and 100W – 220V are connected in series to a 440Vsupply. Which of the bulbs will fuse?
A.
25 W
AnswerB.
Both
C.
100 W
D.
Neither
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.
