A circuit consists of three identical lamps connected to a battery as shown in the figure. When the switch S is closed then the intensities of lamps A and B
Options
- Awill increase by eight times
- Bwill decrease by two times
- Cwill increase by more than two times
- Dwill remain the same
Correct answer
C. will increase by more than two times
Step-by-step solution
After closing of S C bulb or lamp become short circuited potential across A and B before closing of S = V 3 Potential across A and B after closing of S = V 2 As P ∝ V 2 ∴ P i P f = 4 9 P f = P i × 9 4 = 2.25 P i
