Intuition says the geyser should be consuming more power as it is a heavy load..:idea::idea:
but calculation shows it otherwise...:shock::shock::shock:
Help me understand:?::?:
Heavier load is the one with the lower resistance
Exactly.So a 100Watt bulb should have lower resistance that a 60Watt bulb.... Is it right??

When you actually take the resistance of a 60W light bulb, the resistance measures 20 Ohm. I wonder why?
I have two resistances which I will call them as loads... and they are purely resistive...
First one is a heavy load( A geyser which has 1000Ω resistance coils to heat up the flowing water)
Second is a very light load( A hand held electric fan of 10Ω )
Intuition says the geyser should be consuming more power as it is a heavy load.. but calculation shows it otherwise.
Help me understand
Because tungsten filament light bulbs resistance is much lower when cold than when at the working temperature
