B$25\, watt$ bulb
b (b) Resistance of $25\, W$ bulb $ = \frac{{220 \times 220}}{{25}} = 1936\,\Omega $
Its safe current $ = \frac{{220}}{{1936}} = 0.11\,\,amp.$
Resistance of $100\, W$ bulb $ = \frac{{220 \times 220}}{{100}} = 484\,\Omega $
Its safe current $ = \frac{{220}}{{484}} = 0.48\,\,amp.$
When connected in series to $440\, V$ supply, then the current $I = \frac{{440}}{{(1936 + 484)}} = 0.18\,amp.$
Thus current is greater for $25\, W$ bulb, so it will fuse.

The drift velocity of electrons in silver wire with cross-sectional area $3.14 \times 10^{-6}\,m ^2$ carrying a current of $20\,A$ is. Given atomic weight of $Ag =108$ , density of silver $=10.5 \times 10^3\,kg / m ^3..........\times 10^{-4} m / sec$.
Inside $a$ super conducting ring six identical resistors each of resistance $R$ are connected as shown in figure. Imagine a battery of $emf$ $E$ between the point $0$ and $1$, with its positive terminal connected with $O.$
In the circuit shown, the cell is ideal, with $emf$ $=$ $15$ $V$. Each resistance is of $3 $ $\Omega$ . The potential difference across the capacitor is.....$V$
