उत्तर
(i) From P = `"V"^2/"R"`
Resistance of bulb (R) = `"V"^2/"P" = (240 xx 240)/60 = 960 Omega`
(ii) (a)

(b) Resistance of bulbs in series = (960 + 960) Ω = 1920 Ω
∴ Current in series circuit I = `"V"/"R" = 240/1920 = 0.125` A
∴ Rate of conversion of energy in any one bulb in 1 second = I2Rt
= (0.125)2 × 960 × 1 = 15.5
(c) Power of 1 bulb in series circuit = 15 W
So poewr of 2 bulb in series circuit = 2 × 15 W = 30 W.
