Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion: Two electric bulbs of 50 and 100 W are given. When connected in series 50 W bulbs glows more but when connected parallel 100 W bulb glows more.

Reason: In series combination, power is directly proportional to the resistance of circuit . But in parallel combination, power is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Option A is correct. The assertion and reason are both true, and the reason correctly explains why the 50W bulb glows brighter in series and the 100W bulb glows brighter in parallel.
