Two 115-V incandescent lamps A & B are connected in series across 230-V dc source.
Lamp A is rated 100 W and lamp B is rated 60 W. Which lamp is abnormally bright
and hence will burn out soon?
a) Lamp A
b) Lamp B
c) Both lamps will be abnormally bright
d) Both lamps will work normally
O a. Lamp A
O b. Lamp B
O c. Both lamps will be abnormally bright
O d. Both lamps will work normally
When there are,
into action to prevent instability.
in the power system, the voltage regulators will come
O Current variations in power system
O Oscillations in power system
O Voltage variations in power system
O Swinging in power system
We want to measure the amount of current flowing to an old light bulb. We expect that the result will be around 5A. How should we
connect the probes of the multimeter? Drag the connector images to the correct locations and "Not Connected" images to the rest.
