Four bulbs \(B_1 , B_2, B_3\) and \(B_4\) of \(100\, W\) each are connected to \(220\, V\) main as shown in the figure. The reading in an ideal ammeter will be ............... \(A\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(1.35\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Current in each bulb \(=\frac{\text { Power }}{\text { Voltage }}\)
\(=\frac{100}{220}=0.45\, \mathrm{A}\)
Current through ammeter
\(=0.45 \times 3=1.35\, \mathrm{A}\)
