Light of bathroom bulb gets dimmer for a moment when geyser is switched ON because

A

its voltage is lower than that of bulb

B

its voltage is higher than that of bulb

C

it draws less current as compared to bulb

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When the geyser is switched ON, it draws more current, because its voltage is higher than that of bulb.
As a result of this, the voltage across the bulb, in parallel connection gets dimmer for a moment, until it is stabilised.
