Question

Of the two bulbs in a house, one glows brighter than the other. Which of the two has a larger resistance?

A.

Bright bulb

B.

Dim bulb

C.

Both bulbs have the same resistance

D.

The brightness does not depend on resistance

Correct option is B

The brightness of a bulb is inversely proportional to its resistance for a given voltage. When two bulbs are connected to the same voltage source, the bulb with the higher resistance will consume less current, resulting in dimmer light. Conversely, the bulb with lower resistance allows more current to pass through, thus glowing brighter. Therefore, the dim bulb has the larger resistance.
