Incandescent bulbs are designed by keeping in mind that the resistance of their filament increases with the increase in temperature. If at room temperature, 100 W, 60 W, and 40 W bulbs have filament resistances R100 , R60 and R40 , respectively, the relation between these resistances is(a) 1/R100 = 1/R40 + 1/R60(b) R100 = R40 + R60(c) R100 > R60 > R40(d) 1/R100 > 1/R60 > 1R40 |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (d) 1/R100 > 1/R60 > 1R40 Power P = V2/R 1/R100 = 1/R60 + 1/R40 As resistance increases with temperature, the equality does not hold exactly. Hence,1/R100 > 1/R60 > 1/R40 is the best option. |
