If a 75 W bulb and a 100 W bulb are connected in series across a 120 V outlet,the 75 W bulb will dissipate 75 W of power and the 100 W bulb will dissipate 100 W of power.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two bulbs are connected in series, the current through both bulbs is the same, but the voltage is divided between them according to their individual resistance values. Therefore, the 75 W bulb will receive less voltage than the 100 W bulb, leading to a lower power dissipation. It is not accurate to say that both bulbs will dissipate their full rated wattage in this scenario.
