AI Generated Solution

To determine which bulb will glow more brightly when a 25 W, 220 V bulb and a 100 W, 220 V bulb are connected in series across a 220 V line, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the resistance of each bulb The resistance \( R \) of a bulb can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{V^2}{P} \] where \( V \) is the voltage and \( P \) is the power rating of the bulb. ...
