Two bulbs are rated: bulb A 100W, 120 V bulb B 10W, 120 V. If both are connected across a 120V supply, which bulb will consume more energy, When in series? Also calculate the current through each bulb in above cases.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

In the case of bulb A, Power: P = `"V"^2/"R"_"A"`

RA = `"V"^2/"P" = (120 xx 120)/100` = 144 Ω

i.e., Resistance (RA) of bulb, A = 144 Ω

Similarly resistance RB of bulb, B = `"V"^2/"P"`

`= (120 xx 120)/10 = 1440` Ω

When the bulb are connected in series:

R = RA + RB = 144 + 1440 = 1584 Ω

∴ Current in the circuit `= "V"/"R" = 120/1584 = 0.076` A

Being in series, the same current passes through both the bulbs.

Power consumed in bulbs A = PA = i2 R= (0.076)2 × 144 = 0.8317 W

Power consumed in bulbs B = PB = i2 R= (0.076)2 × 144 = 8.317 W

This clearly shows that PA < PB i.e., bulb B (10W, 120 V) consumes more energy when these are connected series.
