QNEET-2019-Ph-826: NEET 2019 Physics - Class 12 NEET-2019-Ph-826 Solution: Six similar bulbs are connected as shown in the figure with a…

Six similar bulbs are connected as shown in the figure with a DC source of emf E and zero internal resistance. The ratio of power consumption by the bulbs when (i) all are glowing and (ii) in the situation when two from section A and one from section B are glowing will be: 4:9 9:4 1:2 2:1

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 4:09
  • B 9:04
  • C 1:02
  • D 2:01

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(i) When all bulbs are glowing, from the given figure. Equivalent resistance, R eq = R 3 + R 3 = 2 R 3 Initial Power, (P i ) = 3 E 2 2 R ......(1) (ii) When two section A and one from section B are glowing. R eq = R 2 + R = 3 R 2 Final Power, (P f ) = 2 E 2 3 R _ P i P f = 3 E 2 2 R _ 3 R 2 E 2 = 9 : 4
