Current Electricity

  1. Two 220 volt, 100 watt bulbs are connected first in series and then in parallel. Each time the combination is connected to a 220 volt a.c. supply line. The power drawn by the combination in each case respectively will be
    1. 50 watt, 200 watt ​
    2. 50 watt, 100 watt
    3. 100 watt, 50 watt
    4. 200 watt, 150 watt
Correct Option: A

Power ∝1
Resistance

In series combination, resistance doubles. ​
Hence, power will be halved. ​
In parallel combination, resistance halves. ​
Hence, power will be doubled.
