Two electric bulbs rated 60W, 220V and 100W, 220V are connected strictly in series across a 220V supply. Which bulb will glow brighter? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Two electric bulbs rated 60W, 220V and 100W, 220V are connected strictly in series across a 220V supply. Which bulb will glow brighter?
A. Both will glow with equal brightness.
B. 60W bulb
C. 100W bulb
D. Neither will glow.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Resistance of a bulb is R = V^2 / P. The 60W bulb has a higher resistance than the 100W bulb. When connected in series, the exact same current (I) flows through both. The power consumed (which determines brightness) is given by P = I^2R. Since the 60W bulb has higher resistance (R), it consumes more power and glows brighter.
Explanation:
Higher frequency → higher pitch. Amplitude increases loudness. Wavelength inversely proportional to frequency (v constant). So increasing frequency increases pitch.
