If a 60 W light bulb and a 75 W light bulb operate from 150 V source, which bulb has a greater current in it?

Answer:

Since it us the resistance that causes the power output, it might be intuitive to think that more resistance produces more power but as P=I^2 * R one actually needs high current and low resistqnce. That means 75 W has lower resistance and higher current.

Now you may think that making the resistance very low, one gets the most power. Not so, as the circuit has wires, power source etc. All the have their resistance. In theory one gets the maximum power over a resistor when the resistor is half of the total resistance of the circuit. This in practice would be inefficient as one would lose half of the total power elsewhere. In practice circuits have fuses that limit the current and one gets the maximum power at the current the fuse is rated to. So if there is 20 A fuse, the maximum power is 2400 W and the corresponding resistance 6 ohm.

This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.

Study the velocity vs. time graph shown.
laiz [17]

For velocity vs Time graphs, the displacement of the object from 2 seconds to 6 seconds is 30 m.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

The displacement is the shortest distance travelled by the particle. It is the vector quantity which re[presents both the magnitude and direction.

In velocity time graphs, the displacement is the area under the curve of the graph on the x axis.

'

A line starts at (0, 2) and ends at (6, 8) in v-t graph

Displacement is equal to the area of a triangle and a rectangle formed under the line.

Area = 1/2 base x height + length x breadth

Area = 1/2 x 6x 6 + 6x2

Area = 18 +12

Area = 30 m

Thus, the displacement is 30 m.
