Question 3:
An electric bulb is rated 220 V and 100 W. When it is operated on 110 V, the power consumed will be
Answer (d): 25w
Solution: R=V2/P
= (220)2/100
= 484 Ω
The resistance of the bulb remains constant
if the supply voltage is reduced to 110 V then Vʹ=110 V
the power consumed by it is given by the expression = Vʹ2/R
= (110)2/484
= 25w
