There are two electric bulbs of $40\, W$ and $100\, W$. Which one will be brighter when first connected in series and then in parallel,
A$40\, W$ in series and $100\, W$ in parallel
B$100\, W$ in series and $40\, W$ in parallel
C$40\, W$ both in series and parallel will be uniform
D$100\, W$ both in series and parallel will be uniform

A$40\, W$ in series and $100\, W$ in parallel
a (a) $\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = \frac{{100}}{{40}} = \frac{5}{2}$. Resistance of $40\, W$ bulb is $\frac{5}{2}$ times than $100\, W$. In series, $P = {i^2}R$ and in parallel, $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$. So $40\, W$ in series and $100\, W$ in parallel will glow brighter.

A capacitor of capacitance $5\,\mu F$ is connected to a source of constant $emf$ of $200\,V$ for a long time, then the switch was shifted to contact $2$ from contact $1$ . The total amount of heat generated in the $500\,\Omega $ resistance, thereafter is
It takes $12$ minutes to boil $1$ litre of water in an electric kettle. Due to some defect it becomes necessary to remove $20 \%$ turns of heating coil of the kettle. After repair, how much time will it take to boil $1$ litre of water.
Consider the circuit shown below where all resistors are $1 \,k \Omega$. If a current of magnitude $1 \,mA$ flows through the resistor marked $X$, the potential difference measured between points $P$ and $Q$ are ..............$V$
Two resistances are connected in two gaps of a meter bridge. The balance point is $20\, cm$ from the zero end. A resistance of $15\, ohms$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40\, cm$. The value of the smaller resistance in $ohms$ is
A torch battery consisting of two cells of $1.45\, volts$ and an internal resistance $0.15\,\Omega $, each cell sending currents through the filament of the lamps having resistance $1.5\,ohms$. The value of current will be ....... $A$
