Question

12. Two bulbs A and B are rated 100 W - 120 V and 10 W - 120 V respectively. They are connected
across a 120 V source in series. Which will consume more ener
13. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

GIVEN ;-

⇒ Bulb A is rated as = 100 w - 120 v

⇒Bulbs B is rated as = 10 w - 120 v

⇒ Two bulbs are connected across a source in series of = 120 v

TO FIND ;-

⇒ Which will consume more energy ?

SOL ;-

⇒ In the bulb A -  

                     

                      ⇒ Volts = 120 v

                      ⇒ Power = 100 w

⇒In the bulb B-

                    ⇒ Volts = 120 v

                    ⇒ Power = 10 w

Now let us find the resistance of the two bulbs -

             ⇒ R = V² / P

Let us find the resistance for the bulb A-

             ⇒ Bulb A ( R ) =  120 ² / 100 =  144 ohm

             ⇒ Bulb B ( r ) =  120 ² / 10  = 1440 ohm

Now we got the resistance for both the bulbs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To find the series combination , we need to use the below formula to find out it -

⇒ R = R₁ + R₂ =

 

      =  144 + 1440

      = 1584 ohm is the resistance in series combination.

So 10 watts bulb consume more energy because uses less power and also the amount o current flowing is less . Remember the formula -  P=I x E.
