Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A): When electric bulbs of different
powers but of same rated voltage are connected in
series, the lower power bulb glows more bright.

Reason (R): In an electric bulb most of the electrical
energy is wasted as heat energy.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason
is not the correct explanation of Assertion

Option B (If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because both statements are factually correct, but the reason doesn't explain why the lower power bulb glows brighter.
