(a) 2/3
(b) 3/2
(c) 4/9
(d) 9/4
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) 4/9
Explanation:
1. \(R=\frac{{V}^{2}}{P}\mathrm{or} R∝{V}^{2} ∴\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}=\frac{{\left(200\right)}^{2}}{{\left(300\right)}^{2}}=\frac{4}{9}\).
2. When bulbs are connected in series, the current \(I\) is same through each. As \(P={I}^{2} R \mathrm{or} P∝R( \mathrm{as} I\) is same in series),
3. so \(\frac{{P}_{1}}{{P}_{2}}=\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}=\frac{4}{9}\).
(a) 4
(b) 3
(c) 2
(d) 1
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (a) 4
Explanation:
1. Let resistances are \({R}_{1}\)and \({R}_{2}\),
2. Then \(S={R}_{1}+{R}_{2}\)
3. And \(P=\frac{{R}_{1}{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}+{R}_{2}}\)
4. \(∴\left({R}_{1}+{R}_{2}\right)=\frac{n×{R}_{1}{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}+{R}_{2}}\left(\mathrm{From} S=nP\right)\)
5. \(⟹{\left({R}_{1}+{R}_{2}\right)}^{2}={nR}_{1}{R}_{2}\)
6. \(⟹n=\left[\frac{{R}_{1}^{2}+{R}_{2}^{2}+2{R}_{1}{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}{R}_{2}}\right]\)
7. \(=\left[\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}+\frac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}}+2\right]\)
8. We know,
9. Arithmetic Mean \(≥\) Geometric Mean
10. \(\frac{\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}+\frac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}}}{2}≥\sqrt{\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}×\frac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}}}\)
11. \(⟹\frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}+\frac{{R}_{2}}{{R}_{1}}≥2\)
12. So, n(minimum value) =2+2=4
