Question

bulb is rated 5V, 100mA. Calculate its (i) power and (ii) resistance when it is

connected to a 5V battery. Is there any change in its power and resistance if

another bulb of same rating is inserted in series with it? Explain.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given : V=5 volts i=100 mA=0.1 A

(a) : Power P=Vi=5×0.1=0.5 watt

(b) : Resistance R=
