Quiz 1
1. Three incandescent lamps rated at 60W, 100W, 150W are connected in series. The
series arrangement connected across a 230 V supply. Calculate Power Absorbed by
each lamp, voltage across each lamp. Also prove that power absorbed is equal to power
supplied.

Solution:
The current flowing through the series circuit will be

Power Absorbed by each lamp and voltage across each lamp will be
P1 60W
P1

P3 150

111.11V
I 1.35

Now Power absorbed and power supplied,

Power _ Supplied V * I 230 *1.35 310.5 W

and
Power_Absorbed V1 * I1 V2 * I 2 V3 * I 3
Power_Absorbed 1.35* (44.44 70.7 111.11) 306 W

2. An electric radiating heater is required to dissipate 1kW power, when connected to a

230 V supply. A wire of 0.5 mm diameter is used in the construction of the above
mentioned heater, having specific resistance of 60 -cm. Calculate the required length
of wire.
