The current flowing through the two bulbs marked as 60 W, 240 V each when connected in series with 240 V source is:

  1. A 0.125 A
  2. B 0.25 A
  3. C 4 A
  4. D 2 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.125 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( R_{total} = 2 \times \frac{V_{bulb}^2}{P_{bulb}} = 2 \times \frac{(240 \text{ V})^2}{60 \text{ W}} = 1920 \Omega \) \( I = \frac{V_{source}}{R_{total}} = \frac{240 \text{ V}}{1920 \Omega} = 0.125 \text{ A} \)
