an electric bulb is rated 220V and 100W .When it is operated on 110V ,the power consumed will be?

Question

KAPIL MANDAL · Answer

At first, you have to understand why bulb glows. It is because heat produced there due to resistance. The voltage V is related to power P by the formula, P = I * V I is the current through the resistance where the voltage is applied. Again, V=IR. So, P= V 2 / R Or, R= V 2 /P Here , R = 220 2 /100 = 484 ohms. Putting this back in the eqn P= V 2 / R, with V= 110, P= 110 2 / 484 = 25 watts.
