Two electric bulbs A and B are designed ...

Two electric bulbs `A` and `B` are designed for the same voltage. Their power ratings are `P_(A)` and `P_(B)` respectively with `P_(A) gt P_(B)` . If they are joined in series across `V` voltage supply

A

`A` will draw more power than `B`

B

`B` will draw more power than `A`

C

the ratio of powers drawn by then will depend on `V`

D

`A` and `B` will draw the same power

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`R = (V^2)/(P)` , As `R prop 1//P. R_(A) lt R_(B)`

`P_(A) = i^(2)R_(A), P_(B) = i^(2)R_(B)`
`P_(B) gt P_(A)`.
