Prove that 60 W bulb glows more brightly...

Prove that `60 W` bulb glows more brightly than `100 W` bulb if by mistake they are connected in series.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In series we can use the formula
`P=i^2R` for the power consumption
`rArr P prop R` (as i is same in series)
We have seen above that
`R_(60w)gtR_(100w)`
`P_(60w)gtP_(100w)` Hence proved.
