Q-The filament of 50 W and 90 W bulbs are of the same length, then (a) 50 W filament is thicker (b) 90 W filament is thicker (c) both are of same thickness (d) none of these
(A)90 W filament is thicker
We know that
R∝1/A -----(1)
P∝1/R OR R∝1/P -----(2)
From Eq 1 and 2
1/P∝1/A
P∝A
So we can conclude that If a substance has more electrical power then it will also have more area of cross section
Here
P50 <P90
∴Filament of 90 W bulb is thicker than 50 W bulb
∴Option (a) is correct
