    Three bulbs of 40 W, 60 W and 100 W an arranged in series with 220 V, which bulb ha minimum resistance?

    A) 100 W                   

    B) 40 W

    C) 60 W                     

    D) Equal in all bulbs

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that relation between power (P), resistance (R) and voltage (V) is \[\therefore \]       \[P=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{R}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[P\propto \frac{1}{R}\]  \[\Rightarrow \]\[R\propto \frac{1}{P}\] Hence, maximum power (100W) has minimum resistance.
