Problem

Two electric bulbs, rated at (25 W, 220 V) and (100 W, 220 V), are connected in series across a 220 V voltage source. If the 25 W and 100 W bulbs draw powers P1P_1 and P2P_2 respectively, then: (1) P1=16 WP_1=16\text{ W} , P2=4 WP_2=4\text{ W} (2) P1=16 WP_1=16\text{ W} , P2=9 WP_2=9\text{ W} (3) P1=9 WP_1=9\text{ W} , P2=16 WP_2=16\text{ W} (4) P1=4 WP_1=4\text{ W} , P2=16 WP_2=16\text{ W}
