There are two electric bulbs of $40\, W$ and $100\, W$. Which one will be brighter when first connected in series and then in parallel,
A$40\, W$ in series and $100\, W$ in parallel
B$100\, W$ in series and $40\, W$ in parallel
C$40\, W$ both in series and parallel will be uniform
D$100\, W$ both in series and parallel will be uniform

A$40\, W$ in series and $100\, W$ in parallel
a (a) $\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} = \frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = \frac{{100}}{{40}} = \frac{5}{2}$. Resistance of $40\, W$ bulb is $\frac{5}{2}$ times than $100\, W$. In series, $P = {i^2}R$ and in parallel, $P = \frac{{{V^2}}}{R}$. So $40\, W$ in series and $100\, W$ in parallel will glow brighter.

Consider an electrical circuit containing a two way switch $^{\prime}{S}^{\prime}$. Initially ${S}$ is open and then ${T}_{1}$ is connected to ${T}_{2} .$ As the current in ${R}=6 \,\Omega$ attains a maximum value of steady state level, ${T}_{1}$ is disconnected from ${T}_{2}$ and immediately connected to ${T}_{3} .$ Potential drop across ${r}=3\, \Omega$ resistor immediately after $T_{1}$ is connected to $T_{3}$ is $....\,V.$ (Round off to the Nearest Integer)
The $n$ rows each containing $m$ cells in series are joined in parallel. Maximum current is taken from this combination across an external resistance of $3 \,\Omega$ resistance. If the total number of cells used are $24$ and internal resistance of each cell is $0.5 \,\Omega$ then
Two cells are connected between points $A$ and $B$ as shown. Cell $1$ has emf of $12\,V$ and internal resistance of $3\,\Omega$. Cell $2$ has emf of $6\,V$ and internal resistance of $6\,\Omega$. An external resistor $R$ of $4\,\Omega$ is connected across $A$ and $B$. The current flowing through $R$ will be $.............A$.
A wire of resistance $R$ is bent to form a square $ABCD$ as shown in the figure. The effective resistance between $E$ and $C$ is ( $E$ is mid-point of arm $CD$ )
Under what conditions current passing through a resistance $R$ can be increased by short circuiting the battery of emf $E_2$. The internal resistances of the two batteries are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively
Two wires $A$ and $B$ of the same material, having radii in the ratio $1: 2$ carry currents in the ratio $4: 1$. The ratio of drift speed of electrons in $A$ and $B$ is
Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is suggestively shown below. Each electroplaques has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25 \,\Omega$ The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500 \,\Omega$, the current an eel can produce in water is about .............. $A$
