    100 W and 60W bulb plugged in separately....Which with more resistance?

    Ok, I think I got a better grasp on this concept now. Thanks for the help!

    100 W and 60W bulb plugged in separately....Which with more resistance?

    So, would I treat my scenario of the bulbs being plugged in at different outlets like a parallel circuit?

    100 W and 60W bulb plugged in separately....Which with more resistance?

    V^2/R, correct? Then, since I know voltage is the same, I would be able to determine resistance values from there. However, is there a way to prove this not algebraically and more conceptually?

    100 W and 60W bulb plugged in separately....Which with more resistance?

    So, if I were to plug numbers in given that the voltage drop was the same, I see that the 100 W has a lower amount of resistance, but why is this so? I thought that if a bulb has higher resistance, there would be a greater power value?

    100 W and 60W bulb plugged in separately....Which with more resistance?

    I think I’ve seen that other equation you’re talking about, yet our teacher did not give that to us (I believe we are using in AP Physics II.)

    100 W and 60W bulb plugged in separately....Which with more resistance?

    Homework Statement If you have a 100 W bulb and a 60 W bulb connected to separate electrical outlets, which will be brighter? Which has more resistance? Explain. 2. Necessary formulas P=IV and (maybe?) I=V/R 3. The Attempt at a Solution I know for sure the 100 W bulb is brighter. However...
