Detailed Solution

  • Power (P)=V2R
  • According to the formula above, power is inversely proportional to resistance when the potential remains constant.
  • The maximum power-draining bulb will light more brightly than the others, and current is inversely proportional to resistance.
  • As a result, a dim bulb will have higher resistance, whereas one that is nearly as bright as the other will have lower resistance.
