Question

2 lamps one rated 100 w at 220v and other 60w at 220v are connected in parallel to electric main supply . Find the current drawn from two lines if the supply voltage is 220v. PLEASE ONLY MENTION THE ANSWER OF CURRENT DRAWN

Answer 1

P=VI

100W=220V×I
I=5/11

60W=220V×I
I=3/11

Total current ,I=5/11 +3/11 =8/11
=0.72A


hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

I_series = 0.30 A

I_parallel = 1.36 A

Explanation:

Given :

Two lamps power as 100 W and 200 W at 220 V.

We have resistance formula :

R₁ = 220 × 220 / 100 = 484 Ω

R₂ = 220 × 220 / 200 = 242 Ω

In series combination :

R_net = 484 + 242 Ω

= > 726 Ω

We have ohm's law :

V = I R

I = 220 / 726 A

I = 0.30 A

( ii ) In parallel combination :

1 / R_net = 1 / 484 + 1 / 242 Ω

R_net = 484 / 3 Ω

Given :  V = 220 V

I' = 220 / 484 × 3 A

I' = 1.36 A
