When appliances of power P1, P2, P3…Pn are connected  in series with a voltage source, the effective power consumed Peffective is given by: 
 
Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected '<mstyle '.
For example:
Consider the following electric circuit in which the electric bulbs of power rating 60W each are connected in series with the voltage source 220 V.
 
Here the bulbs are connected in series. The effective power consumed is:
 
 
Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected '<mstyle '.
In series connections bulbs share the power.Therefore each bulb will light up with power = 20 W.
Total power used = 20×3 =60 W
