Two electric bulbs marked 40 W, 220 V and 60 W, 220 V when connected in series, across same voltage supply of 220 V, the effective power is P_(1) and when connected in parallel, the effective power is P_(2). Then (P_(1))/(P_(2)) is

Answer»

`0.5`
`0.48`
`0.24`
`0.16`

Solution :Resistance of a bulb = `("(Rated voltage)"^(2))/(("Rated power"))`
`R_(B_(1))=((220)^(2))/(40)OmegaandR_(B_(2))=((220)^(2))/(60)Omega`
When the BULBS are connected in series,
`R_(S)=R_(B_(1))+R_(B_(2))=((220)^(2))/(40)+((220)^(2))/(60)=(220)^(2)[(1)/(40)+(1)/(60)]`
`=(220)^(2)[(60+40)/(60xx40)]=(220)^(2)((100)/(2400))=((220)^(2))/(24)`
`therefore P_(1)=(V_(S)^(2))/(R_(S))=(220)^(2)xx(24)/((220)^(2))=24W`
When the bulbs are connected in PARALLEL
`(1)/(R_(P))=(1)/(R_(B_1))+(1)/(R_(B_(2)))or(1)/(R_(P))=(40)/((220)^(2))+(60)/((220)^(2))`
`(1)/(R_(P))=(100)/((220)^(2))orR_(P)=((220)^(2))/(100)`
`therefore P_(2)=(V_(S)^(2))/(R_(P))=(220)^(2)xx(100)/((220)^(2))=100W therefore (P_(1))/(P_(2))=(24W)/(100W)=0.24`
