The supply voltage to room is 120 V. The resistance of the lead wires is `6Omega`. A 60 W bulb is already switched on. What is the decrease of voltage across the bulb, when a 240 W heater is switched on in parallel to the bulb?

A

2.9 volt

B

13.3 volt

C

10.04 volt

D

zero volt

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
