Q138. AI-generated practice Numerical value Hard

Three identical bulbs are connected as follows: two of them in parallel, and this pair in series with the third, across a supply. Assuming the resistances stay constant, find the ratio of the power in the third (series) bulb to the power in either of the parallel bulbs.

Q139. AI-generated practice Assertion–Reason Medium
Assertion (A): A 100 W bulb has a lower resistance than a 60 W bulb rated for the same voltage.
Reason (R): A 100 W bulb gives more light than a 60 W bulb when both work at their rated voltage.
Q140. AI-generated practice Assertion–Reason Hard
Assertion (A): When bulbs rated 60 W and 100 W (both 220 V) are connected in series across 220 V, the 100 W bulb glows brighter.
Reason (R): In a series circuit the current is the same, so the bulb with the larger resistance dissipates more power.
