A three-way lightbulb can produce 50W, 100W, or150W, at 120V. Such a bulb contains two filaments that canbe connectedto the 120V individually or in parallel. (a) Describe how theconnections to the two filaments aremade to give each of the threewattages. (b) What mustbe the resistance of each filament?

The figure shows the interior of a three-way incandescent lightbulb, which provides three levels of light intensity. The socket of the lamp is equipped with a four-position switch for selecting different light intensities, with the positions described as follows: (1) off (switches S₁ and S₂ both open), (2) switch S₁ closed, (3) switch S₂ closed, and (4) switches S₁ and S₂ both closed. The lightbulb contains two filaments. When the lamp is connected to a 120-V source, one filament receives 100 W of power and the other receives 75 W. What is the total power input to the light bulb when (a) only switch S₁ is closed, (b) only switch S₂ is closed, and (c) both switches are closed? (d) What If? Suppose the 75-W filament breaks and no longer is able to carry a current. How many switch positions will result in the light leaving the bulb and what will be the power input to the bulb in those positions?

Figure P27.3 shows the interior of a three-way incandescent lightbulb, which provides three levels of light intensity. The socket of the lamp is equipped with a four-position switch for selecting different light intensities, with the positions described as follows: (1) off (switches Si and S2 both open), (2) switch Si dosed, (3) switch S2 dosed, and (4) switches Si and S2 both closed. The lightbulb contains two filaments. When the lamp is connected to a 120-V source, one filament receives 100 W of power and the other receives 75 W. What is the total power input to the light bulb when (a) only switch SI is closed, (b) only switch S2 is closed, and (c) both switches are dosed? (d) What If? Suppose the 75-W filament breaks and no longer is able to carry a current. How many switch positions will result in the light leaving the bulb and what will be the power input to the bulb in those positions?
