❏ Question:-
@ Three identical bulbs are connected in as shows in the figure . When switch S is closed the power consumed by the bulb B is P . What will be the power consumed by the same bulb when the switch S is opened ?
Diagram Refer to the questionar attachment ,
❏ Solution:-
✏ Given:-
The bulbs are identical So, the resistance of each bulb is same ,
let , the resistances of the bulbs A , B , C are
= = = R (let )
When switch S is closed the power consumed by the bulb B is P .
✏ To Find:-
Power consumed by the bulb B when the switch S is opened .
✏ Explanation :-
➩
In this case , current passes through the all bulbs ( A , B and C ) .
Now , Effective Resistance of the whole circuit is
∴ Current Through the circuit ,
∴ Current Through the Bulb B,
Hence ,
Power consumed in the bulb B is
Now according to the question ,
---------(1)
In this case Bulb B is short circuited , So current only passes through the Bulbs A and B , But no current pass through the Bulb C ,
Now , Effective Resistance of the whole circuit is
∴ Current Through the circuit ,
∴ Current Through the Bulb B
Hence ,
Power consumed in the bulb B is
