Calculate the resistance of the bulb by using the relation between power voltage and resistance as follows:
\(\begin{aligned} P &=\frac{V^{2}}{R} \\ R &=\frac{V^{2}}{(P)} \\ &=\frac{(120 \mathrm{~V})^{2}}{(75.0 \mathrm{~W})} \\ &=192 \Omega \end{aligned}\)
Now, these resistors are connected in series then the equivalent resistance becomes:
\(R_{\text {equ }}=R+R\)
$$ \begin{array}{l} =(192 \Omega)+(192 \Omega) \\ =384 \Omega \end{array} $$
Now, these bubs are connected with \(230 \mathrm{~V}\). by using ohm's law the current through these bulbs is:
\(\begin{aligned} V &=I R_{\text {oqu }} \\ I &=\frac{V}{R_{e q u}} \\ &=\frac{(230 \mathrm{~V})}{(384 \Omega)} \\ &=0.599 \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned}\)
Therefore, the required power through each bulb using above current is, \(P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}\)
$$ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{(I R)^{2}}{R} \\ &=I^{2} R \\ &=(0.599 \mathrm{~A})(192 \Omega) \\ &=68.8 \mathrm{~W} \end{aligned} $$

a.When two resistors RA and RB are combined in series and connected to a battery it is observed that the ratio of the power dissipated in RA to that dissipated in RB is equal to 10. If this arrangement is dismantled and the same two resistors connected in parallel to the same battery, what is the ratio of the power dissipated in RA to that dissipated in RB in this new circuit? b.How much energy is converted by a 12...
Three 70.0-W, 130-V lightbulbs are connected across a ΔV = 130-V power source, as shown in the figure below. Find the total power delivered to the three bulbs and the potential difference across each. Assume the resistance of each bulb is constant (even though, in reality, the resistance increases markedly with current). An open circuit begins at a terminal with a wire extending horizontally rightwards until it reaches a lightbulb R1. After the light bulb, the wire splits downwards into...
