Call

`P=(V^(2))/(R)` or `R=(V^(2))/(P)`
For heter, Resistane `R_(h)=((220)^(2))/(500)=96.8Omega` For bulb resistance `R_(1)=((220)^(2))/(100)=484Omega`
Current in the circuit when both are connected in series `I=(V)/(R_(L)+R_(h))=(220)/(484+96.8)=0.38A`
(i) power consumed by heater `=I^(2)P_(h)=(0.38)^(2)xx96.8=13.98W`
(ii) Power consumed by bulb `=I^(2)R_(L)=(0.38)^(2)xx484= 69.89W`

A filament bulb `(500 W, 100 V)` is to be used in a `230 V` main supply. When a resistance `R` is connected in series, it works perfectly and the bulb

Correct Answer - C If a rated voltage and power are given, then `P_("rated") = (V_("rated")^(2))/R` `therefore` Current in the bulb, `I=P/V` `[therefore`P=VI] `I= 500/100= 5A` `therefore` Resistance of bulb, `R_(b)...

If voltage across a bulb rated 22 volt 100 watt drops by 2.5% of its rated value, the percentage of the rated value by which the power would decrease

Correct Answer - 0.01 `PpropV^(2)` So `(DeltaP)/(P)=2(DeltaV)/(V)=5%`

A heater coil is rated 100W,200V. It is cut into two identical parts. Both parts are connected together in parallel, to the same sources of 200V. Calc

`because P= =(V^(2))/(R) therefore R=(V^(2))/(P)=((200)^(2))/(100)=400Omega` Resistance of half piece `=(400)/(2)=200Omega` Resistance of pieces connected in parallel `=(200)/(2)=100Omega` Energy liberated/sec ond `=P=(V^(2))/(R)=(200xx200)/(100)=400W`

A light bulb is rated 100W for a 220V supply. The resistance of the bulb and the peak voltage of the source respectively are

Resistance of a bulb`=(("Rated voltage")^(2))/("Rated power")` `=((220)^(2))/(100)=484Omega` Peak voltage of the source. `V_(0)=220sqrt(2)V=311V`
