Question 29
H

Lamp X and lamp Y are connected in series with a battery. Lamp X has a larger resistance than lamp Y.

Which statement is correct?

[1]
A

Lamp X has the larger potential difference but transfers energy at the smaller rate

B

Lamp X has the larger potential difference and transfers energy at the greater rate

C

Lamp Y has the larger current, so it transfers energy at the greater rate

D

Both lamps have the same potential difference, so they transfer the same power
