8. What is the 2-year cost of operating the light bulbs in the swimming bulbs if the cost of
electricity is Php 0.20/kWh.
a) Php 337
b) Php 338
c) Php 339
d) Php 340
97 W= 1kW/1000W = 0.097kW
2 year x 365 days x 24hrs = 17520 hrs
Energy=Pt = (.097kw)(17520hrs) = 1696kwh
Cost= (Php .20/kwh)(1696kwh) = Php 339
9. If you walk through the hallway of the house, you would see three light bulbs connected
in parallel each with resistance of 110-Ω. What is the total resistance of the bulbs in the
hallway?
a) 37-Ω
b) 38-Ω
c) 330-Ω
d) 300-Ω
1/ Requiv = 1/ R1 + 1/ R2 + 1/ R3
1/ Requiv = 1/ 110Ω + 1/ 110Ω + 1/ 110Ω
1/ Requiv = 3/ 110Ω
Requiv= 110Ω /3
Requiv= 37Ω
10. Based from your answer in #9 and the current that pass through each bulb in the hallway
is given 10 A, 24 A, and 40 A respectively, what is the voltage in the circuit?
a) 180-V
b) 360-V
c) 120-V
d) 220-V
For items 11-14: When you climb up the stairs, you notice 6 light bulbs of different
resistance. Two of which have 130-Ω, the other two have 120-Ω, and the last two have 110-
Ω.
Requiv = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5 + R6
Requiv = 130Ω + 130Ω + 120Ω + 120Ω + 110Ω + 110Ω
Requiv = 720 Ω
I = V/R
I = 220 V/720 Ω
I = 0.31 A
P = IV
P = (0.31 A)(220 V)
P = 67 W

a) Php 1180
b) Php 1179
c) Php 1195
d) Php 1200
For items 15-16: Inside the Master’s bedroom, there are 5 bulbs connected in a series
circuit. Four of the bulbs have 110-Ω resistance and the other one has 150-Ω.
Requiv = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5
Requiv = 110Ω + 110Ω + 110Ω + 110Ω + 150Ω
Requiv = 590 Ω
V = IR
V = (0.37 A)(759 Ω)
V = 218 V
For items 17-19: There are two guest rooms. One of which has 3 bulbs that have 130-Ω
resistance. On the other hand, the other room only has two bulbs with 150-Ω resistance. The
series are connected in series individually.
Requiv = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4 + R5
Requiv = 130Ω + 130Ω + 130Ω + 150Ω + 150Ω
