Two lamps, one rated `100 W` at `220 V`, and the other `60 W` at `220 V`, are connected in parallel to the electric mains supply. What current is drawn from the line if the supply voltage is `220 V` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the total current drawn from the line when two lamps are connected in parallel. The given data includes: - Lamp 1: Power (P1) = 100 W, Voltage (V) = 220 V - Lamp 2: Power (P2) = 60 W, Voltage (V) = 220 V ### Step 1: Calculate the resistance of each lamp The resistance \( R \) of an electrical device can be calculated using the formula: ...
