If you have light bulbs marked 40 watts, 50 watts, 60 watts and 100 watts, which one will consume electrical energy at the highest rate?
- AThe 40-watt bulb
- BThe 100-watt bulb
- CThe 60-watt bulb
- DThe 50-watt bulb
Correct answer: B — The 100-watt bulb. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
The 100-watt bulb consumes energy at the highest rate because the wattage number printed on a light bulb directly tells you how much electrical power it uses every second. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
