To solve the problem of finding the current drawn by two bulbs rated at 100 W and 200 W when connected in series and in parallel to a 220 V supply, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Resistance of Each Bulb We know the power (P) and voltage (V) ratings of the bulbs. We can use the formula: \[ R = \frac{V^2}{P} \] where \( R \) is the resistance, \( V \) is the voltage, and \( P \) is the power. ...
