An electric bulb rated 220 v and 60 W is connected in series with another electric bulb rated 220 v and 40 W. The combination is connected across 220 volt source of e.m.f. Which of the following statement is true? |
$ P_1'> P_2'$ $ P_1'< P_2'$ $ P_1'= P_2'$ None of the above |
$ P_1'> P_2'$ |
$\text{ Since the two bulbs are in series hence current through both are same}$ $ P_1'= I^2 R_1 = I^2 \frac{V^2}{P_1}$ $ P_2'= I^2 R_2 = I^2 \frac{V^2}{P_2}$ $\frac{P_2'} {P_1'} = \frac{P_2}{P_1} < 1$ $ P_2'<P_1'$ The bulb rated 220 V & 40 W will glow more. |
