The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of what happens when two bulbs (100 W, 250 V and 200 W, 250 V) are connected in parallel across a 500 V line, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Specifications of the Bulbs:** - Bulb 1: 100 W, 250 V - Bulb 2: 200 W, 250 V 2. **Calculate the Resistance of Each Bulb:** - The resistance \( R \) of a bulb can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{V^2}{P} \] - For Bulb 1 (100 W, 250 V): \[ R_1 = \frac{250^2}{100} = \frac{62500}{100} = 625 \, \Omega \] - For Bulb 2 (200 W, 250 V): \[ R_2 = \frac{250^2}{200} = \frac{62500}{200} = 312.5 \, \Omega \] 3. **Determine the Current Through Each Bulb When Connected to 500 V:** - The current \( I \) through a bulb can be calculated using Ohm's Law: \[ I = \frac{V}{R} \] - For Bulb 1 (connected to 500 V): \[ I_1 = \frac{500}{625} = 0.8 \, A \] - For Bulb 2 (connected to 500 V): \[ I_2 = \frac{500}{312.5} = 1.6 \, A \] 4. **Calculate the Power Dissipated by Each Bulb:** - The power \( P \) dissipated by a bulb can be calculated using the formula: \[ P = V \times I \] - For Bulb 1: \[ P_1 = 500 \times 0.8 = 400 \, W \] - For Bulb 2: \[ P_2 = 500 \times 1.6 = 800 \, W \] 5. **Compare the Power Dissipated with the Rated Power:** - Bulb 1 is rated for 100 W, but it is dissipating 400 W, which exceeds its rated power. - Bulb 2 is rated for 200 W, but it is dissipating 800 W, which also exceeds its rated power. 6. **Conclusion:** - Both bulbs will exceed their power ratings and will fuse due to the excessive power dissipation when connected to a 500 V line. ### Final Answer: Both bulbs will fuse. ---
