Answer: 200ohms
Explanation:
According to Ohm's law, the current (I) passing through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference (v) between its ends at constant temperature and pressure. Mathematically, E=IRt
Where E is the voltage across both bulbs, I is the current, Rt is the total equivalent resistance
E = 100V, I = 0.25amps Rt = R+R(since they are 2 identical bulbs in series, we will add them together)
Rt = 2R
Substituting this values in the formula to get R, we have;
100 = 0.25(2R)
100 = 0.5R
R = 100/0.5
R = 200ohms
The resistance of a single light bulb will be 200ohms.
Note that the unit of resistance is ohms
