Questions  

There are two electric bulbs of 40 W and 100 W. Which one will be brighter when connected in series and when in parallel?

a
40 W in series and 100 W in parallel
b
100 W in series and 40 W in parallel
c
40 W both in series and parallel will be uniform
d
100 W both in series and parallel will be uniform

detailed solution

Correct option is A

R1R2 = P2P1 =  10040 =  52.  Resistance of 4o w bulb is 52 times than 100 W. In series, P=i2R and in parallel, P=V2R So 40 W in series and 100 W in parallel will glow brighter.
