    Four bulbs marked 40 W, 250 V are connected in series with 250 V mains, the total power consumed is

    A)  10 W  

    B)  40 W

    C)  320 W

    D)  160 W

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    If n identical bulbs are connected in series, to the rated voltage, the drop across each is\[\frac{V}{n}\]. So, the power consumed by each is\[\frac{P}{{{n}^{2}}}\]. Total power consumed by n such bulbs \[=n\times \frac{P}{{{n}^{2}}}=\frac{P}{n}=\frac{40}{4}\]
