MCQ
Four identical electrical lamps are labelled $1.5\,V$, $0.5\,A$ which describes the condition necessary for them to operate at normal brightness. A $12\,V$ battery of negligible internal resistance is connected to lamps as shown, then
  • A
    The value of $R$ for normal brightness of each lamp is $(3/4)$ $\Omega$
  • The value of $R$ for normal brightness of each lamp is $(21/4)$ $\Omega$
  • C
    Total power dissipated in circuit when all lamps are normally bright is $24\,W$
  • D
    Power dissipated in $R$ is $21\,W$ when all lamps are normally bright

Answer

Correct option: B.
The value of $R$ for normal brightness of each lamp is $(21/4)$ $\Omega$
b
For normal brightness of each bulb see following circuit. Current through each bulb $=$ $0.5\, A$

So main current $i = 2\,A$

Also, voltage across the combination $ = 1.5\,V$

So voltage across the resistance $ = 10.5\,V$

Hence for resistance $V = i\,R$ $ \Rightarrow $  $10.5 = 2 \times R$ $ \Rightarrow $ $R = \frac{{21}}{4}\,\Omega $
