Two electric bulbs are connected one by one across potential difference V. At that time power consumed in them are \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) respectively. Now if potential difference V is applied across series combination of these bulbs, what will be total power consumed ?

  1. A \(P_1+P_2\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{P_1 P_2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{P_1 P_2}{P_1+P_2}\)
  4. D \(P_1 P_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{P_1 P_2}{P_1+P_2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
for series connection
\(\frac{1}{P} =\frac{1}{P_1}+\frac{1}{P_2} \\\frac{1}{P} =\frac{P_2+P_1}{P_1 P_2} \\\therefore P=\frac{P_1 P_2}{P_1+P_2}\)
