Forty electric bulbs are connected in series across a $220\, V$ supply. After one bulb is fused, the remaining $39$ are connected again in series across the same supply. The illumination will be
AMore with $40$ bulbs than with $39$
BMore with $39$ bulbs than with $40$
C

BMore with $39$ bulbs than with $40$
b (b) When $1$ bulb fuses, the total resistance of the circuit decreases hence the current increases. Since $P = {i^2}R$, therefore illumination increases.

Drift speed of electrons, when $1.5\, A$ of current flows in a copper wire of cross section $5\, mm^2$, is $v$. If the electron density in copper is $9 \times 10^{28}\, m^3$ the value of $v$ in $mm/s$ is close to (Take charge of electron to be $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\, C$)
The supply voltage to room is $120\ V$. The resistance of the lead wires is $6\,\Omega$ . A $60\ W$ bulb is already switched on. What is the decrease of voltage across the bulb, when a $240\ W$ heater is switched on in parallel to the bulb? ............. $V$
Resistance in the two gaps of a meter bridge are $10\, ohm$ and $30\, ohm$ respectively. If the resistances are interchanged the balance point shifts by.............. $cm$
A current of $6\, A$ enters one corner $P$ of an equilateral triangle $PQR$ having $3$ wires of resistance $2 \,\Omega$ each and leaves by the corner $R$. The currents $i_{1}$ in ampere is ........ .
When a current of $2\, A$ flows in a battery from negative to positive terminal, the potential difference across it is $12\, V$. If a current of $3 \,A$ flows in the opposite direction potential difference across the terminals of the battery is $15\, V$, the $emf$ of the battery is ................ $\mathrm{V}$
In the circuit shown in figure reading of voltmeter is $V_1$ when only $S_1$ is closed, reading of voltmeter is $V_2$ when only $S_2$ is closed. The reading of voltmeter is $V_3$ when both $S_1$ and $S_2$ are closed then
