R
P 9
 P = i2 R  i ≤ = = 1.5A
R 4
 Consider the supply voltage, for “9W, 4Ω”, the voltage supplied to it cannot be more than 6V.
Otherwise, it cannot work at within its rated power.
 Assume both light bulbs working at their maximum safe current when they are connected in
parallel.
 Total current drawn from 2+1.5A, equivalent resistance in the parallel circuit is 2.4Ω  the
common supply voltage = 2.4* 3.5 = 8.4V > 6V, so “9W, 4Ω” cannot work at its rated power.
Contradiction!
 For the maximum common supply voltage would be 6V, then “9W, 4Ω” is working at its rated
power while “24W, 6Ω” is working WITHIN its rated power. So it’s acceptable to simply connect
them in parallel.
