a 100W,120V lamp is connected in series with another lamp of 40W,120V and the combination is connected across mains.Calculate the value of the resistance to be connected across the second lamp,so that each lamp may get the proper current at the rated voltage.

Two identical parallel-wired strings of 25 bulbs are connected to each other in series. If the equivalent resistance of the combination is $150.0 \Omega$ and it is connected across a potential difference of $120.0 \mathrm{V}$ what is the resistance of each individual bulb?
