Question

If R1 and R2 are the filament resistances of a 200 W bulb and a 100 W bulb respectively designed to operate on the same voltage, then
  1. R1=2R2
  2. R2=2R1
  3. R2=4R1
  4. R1=4R2

A
R1=2R2
B
R2=2R1
C
R2=4R1
D
R1=4R2
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given that,
Power of bulbs P1=200 WP2=100 W

The power P=VI, and I=V/R

On substituting we get, P=V2R.

Here, the power P1 used in case of R1 is P1=V2R1=200W..........(1)
