Two 100 watt light bulbs rated at 100 volts are connected in parallel across a 100 volt power supply. What will be the total power consumed by the two bulbs?

Correct Answer: Option C — 100 watts

In a parallel circuit, total power consumed is the sum of the individual component power ratings. Two 100-watt bulbs operating at their rated voltage consume a combined total of 200 watts, adhering to standard power distribution principles outlined in IEEE 45.
