Two electric bulbs, one of 200 V, 40W and other of 200 V,

Home » Electricity and Magnetism » Current Electricity » Question

Two electric bulbs, one of 200 V, 40W and other of 200 V, 100W are connected in a domestic circuit. Then

1. they have equal resistance
2. the resistance of 40W bulb is more than 100W bulb
3. the resistance of 100W bulb is more than 40 W bulb
4. they have equal current through them

Correct Option: B

R₁ =	V²	=	200 x 200	= 1000Ω
	P₁		40

R₂ =	V²	=	200 x 200	= 400Ω
	P₂		100

∴ R₁ (for 40W) > R₂ (for 100 W)
