To solve the problem of how many electric bulbs rated at 10 W can be connected in parallel across a 220 V supply line with a maximum allowable current of 5 A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Resistance of Each Bulb We know that the power (P) of each bulb is given by the formula: \[ P = \frac{V^2}{R} \] Where: - \( P \) = Power of the bulb (10 W) - \( V \) = Voltage (220 V) ...
