Question
Two electric lamps each rating 100 W, 110 V are connected in series to a 220 V power supply and two other electric lamps each of marking 100 W, 220 V are connected in parallel to the same power supply. Will anyone of the two combinations give more light than the other? Give a reason for your answer.
Solution
Both combinations will give the same light.
Reason: Each combination has the same power namely 200 W.
