Question

Consider the three identical light bulbs shown in the circuit. Which one is true All three bulbs are equally bright. Bulbs B and C are equally bright, but less bright than bulb A. Bulbs B and C are equally bright, but bulb A is less bright. Bulbs A and B are equally bright, but bulb C is less bright. Only bulb A is illuminated. A total resistance of 3.0 Ohm is to be produced by combining an unknown resistor R with a 12 Ohm resistor. What is the value of R and how is it to be connected to the resistor? 2.4 Ohm, parallel 2.4 Ohm, series 4.0 Ohm, parallel 4.0 Ohm, series 9.0 Ohm, series

Explanation / Answer

Q12.
P = IV = I^2*R

I in A is more than B and C

So, Option B.

Q13.
Req = 3 Ohm

Lets assume parallel combination, because Req is less than R2 which is 12 Ohm.
So,
Req = 1/ (1/R1+1/R2)
=> 3 = 1/(1/R1 + 1/12)
=> R1 = 4 Ohm.

So, Option C.
