Q:

Two electric bulbs marked 25W – 220V and 100W – 220V are connected in series to a 440Vsupply. Which of the bulbs will fuse?

A) 25 W B) Both
C) 100 W D) Neither
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25 W

Explanation:

Resistances of both the bulbs are

 

R1=V^2/P1 = 220^2/25

 

R2 = V^2/P2 = 220^2/100

 

Hence  R1gt ; R2

 

When connected in series, the voltages divide in them in the ratio of their resistances. The voltage of 440 V devides in such a way that voltage across 25 w bulb will be more than 220 V. Hence 25 w bulb will fuse.

All are correct. Gravitational waves don’t get distorted or altered by interactions with matter as they go through space. gravitational waves have pure information about the objects and events that created them. The Government of India has given approval for the world’s third advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO-India) to set up in India.
