When electric bulbs of same power, but different marked voltage are connected in series across the power line, their brightness will be :

A

proportional to their marked voltage

B

inversely proportional to their marked voltage

C

porportional to the square of their marked voltage

D

inversely porportional to the square of their marked voltage

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c ) Resistance of bulb `R = (V^(2))/(P)` , Where `V` is the marked voltage and `P` is the marked power `P`.is same for both As both bulbs are connceted in series, so current in both of them will be same. So Brightness `prop R prop V^(2)`
