Question

Out of 60 W and 40 W lamps, which one has a higher electrical resistance when in use?

Open in App
Solution

In general use, appliances are connected in parallel to each other. In that case, the resistance is indirectly proportional to the power of the appliance. Hence, the lamp with smaller power i.e. 40 W will have higher resistance.
