Answer from: ginger1234

Explanation:

From the equation:

Power dissipated= square of voltage supplied by battery ÷ Resistance of the load

i.e P= V^2/R

It means that at constant voltage, the the power consumed is inversely related to the resistance. Therefore the 10W bulb which has a higher resistance will consume less power using the sufficiently excess power dissipated to glow brighter than the 250W bulb which has a low resistance. The power dissipated will partly be used to overcome this low resistance making less power available for heating up the 250W bulb .

Answer from: kmassarotti

ANSWER:

A 10W bulb may shine brighter than a 250W bulb, when the two are connected to the same battery. This can happen when the battery is low or not fully charged. Because the 10W bulb has a high resistance more than a 250W bulb, it makes the 10W bulb to be more efficient than the 250W bulb.

When a low current is passed through the fillament of the two bulbs, the 10W bulb which has high resistance, uses almost all the current that enters the filament to emit more light, more than the 250W bulb which has a low resistance and will converts almost all the current that enters the filament into heat energy. In the 250W bulb only about 8% of the current are used to light up the bulb and the rest are converted to heat energy. This explains why a bulb which it's watt is higher will be more hotter when lighted up, than a bulb which watt is lower.

Another reason while the 10W bulb will shine brighter is when the fillament in it are coiled tight round itself ( example is a fluorescent bulb). It will emit more light than a 250W watt bulb that the filament are not coiled (example is an incandescent bulb).

NOTE : On a normal circumstances, a 250W bulb will shine brighter than a 10W bulb, because the higher the electric energy a bulb consumes the brighter light the filament will produce. Watt is the amount of electric energy the bulb can consume, therefore a bulb with 250W is assumed to produce more light than a bulb with 10W.
