C
Tungsten filament bulbs glows more
c (c) Resistance of carbon filament decreases with temperature while that of tungsten increases with temperature
In series ${P_{Consumed}} \propto R$
i.e. tungsten bulb will glow more brightly

Twelve resistors each of resistance $16 \,\Omega $ are connected in the circuit as shown. The net resistance between $AB$ (any two conjugate points of outer square) is ............... $\Omega$
The current $i_1$ and $i_2$ through the resistor $R_1 (= 10\,\Omega )$ and $R_2 (=30 \,\Omega )$ in the circuit diagram with $E_1 = 3\,V, E_2 = 3\,V$ and $E_3 = 2\,V$ are respectively:
Three voltmeters, all having different internal resistances are joined as shown in figure. When some potential difference is applied across $\mathrm{A}$ and $B$, their readings are $V_1, V_2$ and $V_3$. Choose the correct option.
The resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are $8 \Omega$ and $10 \Omega$ respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature $400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the resistance of platinum wire is:
Two batteries $V_1$ and $V_2$ are connected to three resistors as shown below. If $V_1=2 \,V$ and $V_2=0 \,V$, then the current $I=3 \,mA$. If $V_1=0 \,V$ and $V_2=4 \,V$, then the current $I=4 \,mA$. Now, if $V_1=10 \,V$ and $V_2=10 \,V$, then the current $I$ will be ............ $\,mA$
The figure shows a meter-bridge circuit, with $AB = 100\, cm$,$ X = 12\,\Omega$ and $R = 18\,\Omega$ , and the jockey $J$ in the position of balance. If $R$ is now made $8\,\Omega$ , through what distance will $J$ have to be moved to obtain balance? .............. $cm$
