Two electric bulbs A and B are rated as 60 W and 100 W. They are connected in parallel to the same source. Then

Options

A. B draws more current than A
B. current drawn are in the ratio of their resistances
C. both draw the same current
D. A draws more current than B

Answer

A

Explanation

Power =`Vxxi`
As they are connected in parallel, V is the same. `therefore`   `(power)/(V)=i`    ,  `(100)/(V)>(60)/(V)`
`therefore`  100 watts bulb draws more current than the 60 watts bulb.
