How many incandescent lamps connected in series would consume the same total power as a single 100 W/220 V incandescent lamp. The rating of each lamp is 200 W/220 V?(a) Not possible(b) 4(c) 3(d) 2This question was posed to me in a job interview.My question is taken from Series-Series Connection of Two Port Network topic in section Two-Port Networks of Network Theory

Answer»

Right answer is (d) 2

Explanation: In SERIES power = \(\frac{1}{P}\)

Now, \(\frac{1}{P} = \frac{1}{P_1} + \frac{1}{P_2}\)

 = \(\frac{1}{200} + \frac{1}{200}\)

Or, P = \(\frac{200}{2}\) = 100 W.
