if two bulb of 50w &30w apply in series having 230v the
which bulb glow bright ,why
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
bulbs or any domestic electrical equipments are designd for
constant voltage,thats why we have parallel connections at
home.and r designd for the formula given below intentionally
we know that p=v^2/r
now p is inversely proportional to r
now we can easily tell 50w bulb will have less resistance
than 30w bulb
now in series, current in both will same,,,,,,so by formula
p=i^2R,,,,,
we can say 30w bulb will glow brighter

Answer / mir razin bashar
we know that power is inversely proportional to resistance.
p=(v^2)/R where V is constant
i is not constant because current is supplied
by total constant source voltage.
but current are vary by adding resistance
so
the bulb having more power has has less resistance
less power more resistance
example:
50w bulb will have less resistance than 30w bulb
brightness:
series:
50w and 30 w are connected.
in series current against resistance is fixed.(totla source voltege is const)
so energy rejected
H(50w)=(i^2)*R*t
H(30w)=(i^2)*r*t
r=resistance of 30w bulb
R=resistance of 50w bulb
we can tell according to the above description
r>R
=>r*t>R*t
=>(i^2)*r*t>(i^2)*R*t
=>H(30w)>H(50w)
30w is more brighter than 50w
parallel:
50w and 30 w are connected.
in parallel voltage against resistance is fixed.(also totla source voltege is const)
so energy rejected
H(50w)=(v^2)*t/R
H(30w)=(v^2)*t/r
r=resistance of 30w bulb
R=resistance of 50w bulb
we can tell according to the above description
r>R
=>(1/r)<(1/R)
=>((v^2)*t/r)<((v^2)*t/R)
=>H(30w)<H(50w)
50w is more brighter than 30w
so in house as parallel circuit is used so we brought 100w than 50w to get more light
but if series circuit is used so we brought 50w than 100w to get more light

Answer / naresh.
p=v*i1 v=i1*r1
50=230*i1 r1=230/0.217
i1=(0.217A) r1=1059 ohms
p=v*i2 v=i2*r2
30=230*i2 r2=230/0.130
i2=(0.130A) r2=1769 ohms
obvious that one which is drawing more current has least
resistance path as it in series the current takes the least
resistance path and we can also see that 30w bulb has high
resistance so less curentt flows through it so it is less
brighter than 50w
conclusion:
so 50w bulb glows brighter
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 3 Yes | 6 No |
We know that, P=VI
here,
P=50+30=80w
v=230
I=?
its very simple to calculate and see that the current is
flowing throw the circuit is suitable for the LOW power
equipments as a result 30W bulb will be the brighter.

Answer / arshad noor
As we Know that current in series flow according to Lowest
value of resistance therefore 30W will glow bright since it
has low resistance compared to 50W

Answer / adel
current pass in two bulb= p/v=80/230=0.35 A
voltage on bulb 50 W= p/i=50/0.35=142 V
voltage on bulb 30W= p/i=30/0.35 =85.7 V
hence bulb 50w is bright

Answer / felixraj
totally 80w ,i=p/v 80/230=0.34A vl droop in 50w is more
(brighter)

what is the different between Switch & Circuit Breaker?
Dear sir, we are getting voltage fluctuations suddenly for 2 or 3 minutes again it becomes normal. we checked each and every connection some times we are getting 110 volts like that from earth to neutral again it is reducing we are getting supply from 45 kva DG set give earthing properly.
