An electrical bulb rated 220V,100W220V, 100W, is connected in series with another bulb rated 220V220V, 60W60W. If the voltage across combination is 220V220V, the power consumed by the 100W100W bulb will be about _____ WW.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Electric power is given by P=V2RP = \dfrac{{V}^{2}}{R}, here, VV is voltage and RR is resistance.

Now, for each bulb, R1=V2P=2202100=484Ω{R}_{1} = \dfrac{{V}^{2}}{P} = \dfrac{{220}^{2}}{100} = 484Ω and R2=V2P=220260=484(106)Ω{R}_{2} = \dfrac{{V}^{2}}{P} = \dfrac{{220}^{2}}{60} = 484\left(\dfrac{10}{6}\right)Ω

Net current through the series combination is I=220484+484×106A=0.171AI = \dfrac{220}{484 + 484 \times \dfrac{10}{6}}A = 0 . 171A

Hence, the power consumed by the 100W100W bulb is P1=I2R1=14.06W{P}_{1} = {I}^{2}{R}_{1} = 14 . 06W
