Three 60 W, 120 V light bulbs are connected across a 120 V power source. If resistance of each bulb does not change with current, then find out total power delivered to the three bulbs.

Three 60 W, 120 V light bulbs are connected across a 120 V power source. If resistance of each bulb does not change with current, then find out total power delivered to the three bulbs.

A
180 W
B
20 W
C
40 W
D
60 W

Solution:

Here $R = \frac{V^{2}}{P},$

Total power supplied

$= \frac{V^{2}}{3 / 2 R} = (\frac{2}{3}) (\frac{V^{2}}{R}) = \frac{2}{3} \times 60 = 40 W$
