40 electric bulbs are connected in series across a 220 V supply. After one bulb is fused the remaining 39 are connected again in series across the same supply The illumination will be
A
more with 40 bulbs than with 39
B
more with 39 bulbs than with 40
C
equal in both the cases
D
in the ratio 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Since, the voltage is same for the two combinations, the resistance is less for 39 bulbs.
Hence the combination of 39 bulbs will glow more as current is more.
