Two electric bulbs have tungsten filaments of the same length. If one of them is rated $60\ W$ and the other $100\ W$,then:

  • A
    $100\ W$ bulb has a thicker filament
  • B
    $60\ W$ bulb has a thicker filament
  • C
    Both filaments are of the same thickness
  • D
    It is not possible to get different wattages unless the lengths are different

The figure shows a thick spherical shell made of a material with electrical conductivity $\sigma$. It has inner and outer radii of $10\ cm$ and $20\ cm$ respectively and is filled with ice inside. Its inner and outer surfaces are kept at different potentials by a battery with internal resistance $r = \frac{2}{\pi}\ \Omega$ and electromotive force $\epsilon = 5\ V$. Find the value of $\sigma$ for which the ice melts at the maximum possible rate,given that $25\%$ of the heat generated by the shell due to Joule heating is used to melt the ice.
