प्रश्न
Two lamps of resistance 30Ω and 20Ω respectively are connected in series in a 110V circuit. Calculate:
(i) the total resistance in the circuit
(ii) the current in the circuit, and
(iii) the voltage drop across each lamp.

उत्तर
(i) Since the two lamps are connected in series, their total resistance R is given by:
R = R1 + R2
= 30 Ω + 20 Ω = 50 Ω
(ii) We have, V = 110 volt, R = 50 Ω
∴ By Ohm's law
I = `"V"/"R" = 110/50`A = 2.2 A
(iii) We now have
I = 2.2 A
∴ V1 = IR1 = 2.2 × 30V = 66 V
∴ Voltage frop across L1 = 66 V
Similarly, V2 = IR2 = 2.2 × 20 = 44 V
∴ Voltage drop across L2 = 44 V.
