A house is fitted with certain numbers of `100 W, 230 V` incandescent lamps. The power to the house is fed by a generator producing the power at `240 V`. The resistance of the wires from the generator to the house is `2 Omega`. Find the maximum number of lamps that can be illuminated so that the voltage across none of the lampsdrops below `230 V`.

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Calculate the Resistance of Each Bulb The power rating of each bulb is given as 100 W and the operating voltage is 230 V. We can use the formula for power to find the resistance of each bulb. \[ P = \frac{V^2}{R} \implies R = \frac{V^2}{P} \] ...
