two bolbs of 100w and 40w respectively connected in series
across a 230v supply.which bolb will glow bright and why?

Answer Posted / harish kumar

Dear Friends,
1. When bulb are connected in series "CURRENT" is same , While "VOLTAGE" will be "DIVIDED" Across Each Ckt According to the Position of the circuit connected (As in Increase order)
2. And Voltage Is directly proportional to Light. If voltage is high than it will glow brightly and if voltage is low it will dim.
3. Now Consider V = 230v,
R1 = 40w
r2 = 100w

So P = V^2/r therefor R1 = (230)^2/40 = 1322.5 ohm
R2 = (230)^2/100 =529 ohm
So According to the OHM's Law V = IR

Resistance Directly proportional to Voltage.
so Voltage Directly proportional to Light.

Hence 40 watt bulb will glow more Brightly rather than 100w.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
