The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to understand how current behaves in a series circuit. In a series circuit, the same current flows through all components connected in the circuit. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Bulbs and Their Ratings:** - We have two bulbs: - Bulb 1: 100 W - Bulb 2: 40 W 2. **Understand the Series Connection:** - In a series circuit, the same current flows through all components. Therefore, if the current through the 100 W bulb is given as 1 A, the same current will also flow through the 40 W bulb. 3. **Current Through the Bulbs:** - Since the current through the 100 W bulb is 1 A, the current through the 40 W bulb will also be 1 A. 4. **Conclusion:** - The current through the 40 W bulb is also 1 A. ### Final Answer: The current through the 40 W bulb will be **1 A**.
