If the wattage of each bulb is 1.5 W, how much reading will the ammeter A show when all the three bulbs glow simuteously.

A

1.0A

B

2A

C

1.5W

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When the bulbs are in parallel, wattage will be added (4.5 W) and the ammeter reading would be,
`I=P//V=4.5/4.5=1A`
