Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
The total power of the circuit is equal to the sum of the powers of each lamp.
Now we have a voltage source equal to 240 [V], so by means of the following equation we can find the current circulating in the circuit.
where:
P = power [W]
V = voltage [V]
I = current [amp]
So this is the answer for c) I = 0.67 [amp]
We know that the voltage of each lamp is 240 [V]. Therefore using ohm's law which is equal to the product of resistance by current we can find the voltage of each lamp.
a)
where:
V = voltage [V]
I = current [amp]
R = resistance [ohms]
Therefore we replace this equation in the first to have the current as a function of the resistance and not the voltage.
b)
The effective resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistors connected in series.
