Grade 10Electric CurrentThree electric bulbs of rating 60 W are joined in series and then connected to electric mains . The power consumed will be ? Rohan 10 Years agoGrade 10
Karthik Kumar10 Years agoLet resistance of each bulb is Rthen total resistance of 3 bulbs=3Rpower=V2/R =60W for each bulbwhen three bulbs connected in series then power=V2/(3R)=(1/3)(V2/R)=(1/3)(60)=60/3 =20 W(voltage is same when one bulb is used or three used)
