Correct answer: 14
- Find the resistance of each bulb from its rating
For a bulb rated at voltage and power ,
So,
-
For the bulb:
-
For the bulb:
-
Since the bulbs are in series, total resistance is
-
Find the current through the series combination
Same current flows through both bulbs:
- Power consumed by the 100 W bulb
Using ,
So the power consumed by the bulb is about
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
Our derived answer =
Hence, they agree.
