When three identical bulbs of 60 watt 200 volt rating are connected in series to a 200-volt supply, the power drawn by them will be
180 watt
10 watt
20 watt
60 watt
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
\(\frac{1}{P_{eq}}=\frac{1}{P_1}+\frac{1}{P_2}+\frac{1}{P_3}\)+.......
For this question \(\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}+\frac{1}{60}\) = \(\frac{3}{60}\) = \(\frac{1}{20}\) \(\Rightarrow\) Peq = 20watt

Questions Asked in NEET exam
Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)

Electric Current
Defining Electric Current
It is the rate of flow of electrons in a conductor. SI Unit - Ampere (A).
Electrons are negatively charged particles hence when they move a number of charges moves.
Note:- The ability of a particular substance to conduct electricity depends on the number of electrons that are able to move . Some of the materials allow current to flow better than others.
What is an Electromotive Force?
If a force acts on electrons to make them move in a particular direction, then up to some extent random motion of the electrons will be eliminated. An overall movement in one direction. The force which acts on the electrons to move them in a certain direction is known as electromotive force and its quantity is known as voltage and is measured in V.
