When three identical bulbs of 60 watt, 200 volt rating are connected in series to a 200 volt supply, the power drawn by them will be:
Options
- A60 watt
- B180 watt
- C10 watt
- D20 watt
Correct answer
D. 20 watt
Step-by-step solution
The resistance of each bulb is V^2 P = (200)^2 60 when three bulbs are connected in series then equivalent resistance is 3 (200)^2 60 Power P= V^2 R_ e q =20 ~W
