50 electric bulbs are connected in series across a 220 V supply and the illumination produces is i1,. 5 bulbs are fused. If the remaining 45 are again connected in series, the illumination produces is i2. Which of the following is true ?

a
i1 = i2
b
i1 < i2
c
i1 > i2
d
it will depend on the resistance of each bulb

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The resistance of 45 bulbs will be less than the resistance of 50 bulbsi∝ heat produced =V2RtSo, in case of 45 bulbs, the illumination increases as r decreases.∴ i˙1
