Two electric lamps are rated for 220 volts 60 watts, and 220 volts 40 watts. find the heat generated in each lamp per second when they are connected in series across 220 volts.

Solution: P1 = 60 watts E1 = 220 volts \(\begin{array}{l}{{P}_{1}}=text{ }{{E}_{1}}{{I}_{1}}=frac{E_{1}^{2}}{{{R}_{1}}}\end{array} \) \(\begin{array}{l}{{R}_{1}}=frac{E_{1}^{2}}{{{P}_{1}}}\end{array} \) \(\begin{array}{l}{{R}_{1}}=frac{{{left( 220 right)}^{2}}}{60}=frac{2420}{60}ohms\end{array} \) Power of...
