  1. H ow many 200W/220V incandescent lamps connected in series would consume the same total power as a single 100W/220V incandescent lamp?
    1. not possible
    2. 4
    3. 3
    4. 2
Correct Option: D

V1 = V2 = Vn =
200
n

Power consumed in n bulbs connected in series

P1 = n.
200
2.
1
=
(200)2
nR1nR1

But R1 =
(200)2
200

∴ P1 =
200
n

It must be equal to 100 watts (for bulb 100W/220V)
200
= 100
n

or n = 2
