If two bulbs of watt age 25 and 100, respectively, each rated at 220 volt are connected in series with the supply of 440 volt, then which bulbs will fuse?

a
100 watt bulb
b
25 watt bulb
c
None of them
d
Both of them

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Resistance of 25 W bulb =  220  ×  22025 = 1936 ΩIts safe current =2201936 = 0.11  AResistance of 100 W bulb =  220  ×  220100 = 484  ΩIts safe current =220484 = 0.48  AWhen connected in series to 440 V supply, then thecurrent I=4401936+484 = 0.18  A
