`n` identical light bulbs, each designed to draw `P` power from a certain voltage supply , are joined in series across that supply. The total power which they will draw is

A

`nP`

B

`P`

C

`P//n`

D

`P//n^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Total resistance `= (nV^(2))/( P)`. Power `= ( V^(2) P)/( nV^(2)) = ( P)/( n)`
