Statement-I: Two identical bulbs when connected in parallel across a battery consume a total power '

P

'. When they are connected across the same in series total power consumed is

\frac{P}{4}

.
Statement-II: In parallel

P=P_1+P_2

and in series

P=\frac{P_1 P_2}{P_1+P_2}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Statement-I and Statement-II are true and Statement-II is the correct explanation of Statement-I

Option A is correct because both statements are true, and Statement-II correctly explains why the total power consumed changes when identical bulbs are connected in parallel versus in series.
