Question

If three light bulbs of different wattage are connected in parallel to a battery,

the voltage drop across each bulb will be the same.

the current in each light bulb will be the same.

the resistance in each light bulb will be the same.

the power consumed by each light bulb will be the same.

the light output of each bulb will be the same.

a

the voltage drop across each bulb will be the same.

b

the current in each light bulb will be the same.

c

the resistance in each light bulb will be the same.

d

the power consumed by each light bulb will be the same.

e

the light output of each bulb will be the same.

Explanation / Answer

The voltage drop across each bulb will be same.

Power = v2 /R

So resistance is also difference for each bulb.

Power consumed is also different.
