AI Generated Solution

To determine which bulb will glow more brightly when a 100W and a 200W bulb are connected in parallel to the mains, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Power and Resistance**: - The power rating of a bulb indicates how much electrical energy it converts into light and heat per second. The higher the power rating, the more energy it dissipates, which generally means it will glow more brightly. 2. **Identify the Bulbs**: ...
