Electrical Power & Heating Effect

There are ' nn ' number of identical electric bulbs, each is designed to draw a power pp independently from the mains supply. They are now joined in series across the mains supply. The total power drawn by the combination is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Each bulb: R=V2/pR = V^2/p.
  2. In series: Rtotal=nRR_{total} = nR, so P=V2nR=pnP = \dfrac{V^2}{nR} = \dfrac{p}{n}.
  3. So the answer is (d) pn\dfrac{p}{n}.
