Three bulbs of specifications 60 W/220 V, 100 W/220 V and 1000 W/220 V are connected in series. Which one will glow the brightest ?

Solution

In series, Power, P = I2R.
The resistance of 60 W/220 V bulb will be greater than any other given bulbs.
Brightness depends upon the power consumed.

A wire of resistance 20 Ω is bent in the form of a complete circle. Find the resistance between two diametrically opposite points.

Solution

The equivalent circuit, 

straight R subscript eq space equals space fraction numerator RR over denominator straight R plus straight R end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight R squared over denominator 2 straight R end fraction space equals space straight R over 2

But R = 10 

∴    Req = 5 Ω
