    Three bulbs of 40 W, 60 W and 100 W are connected in series to a current source of 200 V. Which of the following statements is true?

    A)  40 W bulb glows brightest  

    B)  60 W bulb glows brightest

    C)  100 W bulb glows brightest

    D)  All bulbs glow with same brightness

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Current through each bulb is same because these are connected in series. since \[\left( R=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{P} \right)\], resistance of 40 W bulb is more, hence greater heat is produced in the 40 W bulb, it glows brightest \[H={{I}^{2}}Rt\]
