The two bulbs, one of ${\rm{60}}\,\,{\rm{W}}$ and other ${\rm{200}}\,\,{\rm{W}}$ are connected in series to a ${\rm{200 \,\,volt}}$ line, then

The potential drop across the ${\rm{60}}\,\,{\rm{W}}$ bulb is greater than the potential drop across the ${\rm{200}}\,\,{\rm{W}}$ bulb

The potential drop across two bulbs in the same

The potential drop across the ${\rm{200}}\,\,{\rm{W}}$ bulb is greater than the ${\rm{60}}\,\,{\rm{W}}$ bulb

The potential drop across both the bulbs is ${\rm{200}}\,\,{\rm{volt}}$

The two bulbs, one of

\mathrm{60}\,\,\mathrm{W}

and other

\mathrm{200}\,\,\mathrm{W}

are connected in series to a

\mathrm{200 \,\,volt}

line, then

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

The potential drop across the

\mathrm{60}\,\,\mathrm{W}

bulb is greater than the potential drop across the

\mathrm{200}\,\,\mathrm{W}

bulb

Option B (The potential drop across the

\mathrm{60}\,\mathrm{W}

bulb is greater than the potential drop across the

\mathrm{200}\,\mathrm{W}

bulb) is correct because in a series circuit, the voltage drop is proportional to the resistance, and the 60W bulb has higher resistance.
