There `60 W`, `120 V` light bulbs are connected across a `120 V` power source. If resistance of each bulb does not change with current then find out total power deliver to the three bulbs.

A

`180 W`

B

`20 W`

C

`40 W`

D

`60 W`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c ) Here `R = (V^(2))/(P)`
Total power supplied
`= (V^(2))/(3//2R) = ((2)/(3)) ((V^(2))/(R )) = (2)/(3) xx 60 = 40 W`
