Two incandescent light bulbs of 40 W and 60 W rating are connected in series across a
mains then
1.

the 40 W bulb glows brighter.

2.

the 60 W bulb glows brighter.

3.

the both bulbs glow same brighter.

4.

none of these.

Resistance of 40 W lamp is much higher, then the Voltage drop / power consumption will be
higher than the 60 W lamp. So the 40 watt lamp will glow brighter.

 The incandescent bulbs rated respectively as P1 and P2 for operation at a specified main
voltage are connected in series across the mains as shown in the figure. Then the total power
supplied by the mains to the two bulbs

2.

(P12 + P22).

3.

P1 + P2.

4.

( P1 P2).

Lets supply voltage is V, resistance of lamp 1 and 2 are R1 and R2 respectively.

Now, the lamps are connected in series, the power consumption would be

Single incandescent lamp consumes 100 W then 2 lamps are required to consume 200 W.

There are 3 lamps of wattage 40 W, 60 W, 80 W respectively. Which lamp has the more
resistance?
1.

All of their resistance are same.

2.

80 W.

3.

60 W.

4.

A metal filament lamp X rated 40 W, 100 V is connected in series with another lamp Y of
the same type rated 100 W, 200 V. A voltage of 200 V is applied across the combination then
1.

lamp X gives more light.

2.

lamp Y gives more light.

3.

both will be equally bright.

4.

none of the lamp will glow.

Because same current passes through the lamps, power developed will be more for 100 W
bulb because it has more resistance, so bulb of 100 W will glow more bright.

Name of the fluorescent materials for fluorescence of green colour?

1.

Zinc silicate + manganese.

2.

Zinc sulphide + manganese.

3.

Zinc sulphide + silver.

4.

Calcium silicate + manganese.

Zinc silicate as base substance with manganese as activator gives green colour.

A 100 W light bulb burns on an average of 10 hours a day for one week. The weekly
consumption of energy will be
1.

0.7 units.

2.

7 units.

3.

70 units.

4.

700 units.


Power = 100 W
Time = 10 7 hrs. = 70 hrs.
Energy consumption = 100 70 W-hrs = 7000 W-hrs= 7 KW-hrs = 7 Units [ 1 KW-hr = 1
Unit].

Which of the following is not the unit of electrical power?

1.

Volt / ampere.

2.

Volt ampere.

3.

Watt.

4.

Joule / second.

Unit of electrical power is watt and watt means joule/second. Again electrical power =
voltage current, hence volt ampere may be another expression for unit of power. But
impedance = voltage / current, hence volt / ampere may be expression for unit of impedance
not power.
One kilowatt hour is same as

1.

36 105 Watt.

2.

36 105 Ergs.

3.

36 105 Joules.

4.

36 105 BTU.

Kilowatt hour is the unit of energy and 1 kilowatt hour = 1000 1 Watt 3600 second = 36
105 Watt second = 36 105 Joule.
Two heaters rated at 1000 W, 250 V each are connected in series across a 250 V, 50 Hz
AC mains. The total power drown from the supply will be
1.

500 W.

2.

1,000 W.

3.

1,500 W.

4.

2,000 W.

P = 1000 W, V= 250 V
Then, I = 4 A and Resistance of each heater is ( 250 / 4 ) = 62.5
In series connection equivalent resistance will be double = Req = ( 62.5 + 62.5 ) = 125
Now current will be ( 250 / 125 ) A = 2 A.
And the power consumption will be = Pseries = 2 ( 22 62.5 ) W = 500 W.
In a network made up of linear resistors and ideal voltage source values of resistors are
doubled. Then the voltage across each resistor is
1.

doubled.

2.

halved.

3.

decreased four times.

4.

not changed.

If the resistors are doubled then the current will be half and the voltage across each resisror
will be same.

Four resistance R1, R2, R3, and R4 are connected in series across a 220 V supply. The
resistances are such that, R1 > R2 > R3 > R4. The least power consumption will be in
1.

R2 .

2.

R4 .

3.

R1 .

4.

R3 .

19.

So the power consumed by the individual resistor will be I2R1, I2R2, I2R3 and I2R4.
As, R1 > R2 > R3 > R4 hence I2R1 > I2R2 > I2R3 > I2R4.
