Two light bulbs connected in series across a 120 V source.
Two light bulbs connected in series across a 120 V source.
Two incandescent light bulbs are labeled \(60 \text{ W}, 120 \text{ V}\) and \(100 \text{ W}, 120 \text{ V}\). The two bulbs are connected in series across an ideal \(120 \text{ V}\) DC power source. Which of the following correctly compares the actual power dissipated by the two light bulbs and provides the correct physical reasoning?
