Question
Choose the correct option from given alternative:
Two bulbs of 100 W and 40 W are connected in series. The current through the 100 W bulb is 1A. The current through the 40W bulb will be:
Options
0.4 A
0.6 A
0.8 A
1 A
Solution
In a series connection, the current through each device remains the same. Therefore, the current through the 40 W bulb will also be 1 A.
Hence, the correct answer is 1 A.
