Question
A bulb is made using two filaments. A switch selects whether the filaments are used individually or in parallel. When used with a 15V battery, the bulb can be operated at 5W, 10W or 15W. What should be the resistances of the filaments?
✓

Answer

The various resistances of the bulbs $=\frac{\text{V}^2}{\text{P}}$
Resistances are $\frac{(15)^2}{10},\frac{(15)^2}{10},\frac{(15)^2}{15},=45,22.5,15.$
Since two resistances when used in parallel have resistances less than both.
The resistances are 45 and 22.5.
