Two bulbs consume same power when operated at "200V and "300V" respectively.When the bulbs are connected in series across a D.C source of "500V" then

A

Ratio of potential difference across them is `3//2`

B

Ratio of potential difference across them is `9//4`

C

Ratio of power consumed across them is `4//9`

D

Ratio of power consumed across them is `2//3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`P = V^(2)/R rArr P prop V^(2), R_(1)/R_(2) =(200/300)^(2) = 4/9`
For series connection.
`P_(1)/P_(2) = V_(1)/V_(2) = R_(1)/R_(2), therefore P_(1)/P_(2) = 4/9`
