An electric bulb is rated 220 V and 100 W. When it is operated on 110 V, the power consumed will be –
(a) 100 W (b) 75 W (c) 50 W (d) 25 W
(d) Energy consumed by an appliance is given by the expression,
Where,
Power rating, P = 100 W
Voltage, V = 220 V
The resistance of the bulb remains constant if the supply voltage is reduced to 110 V. If the bulb is operated on 110 V, then the energy consumed by it is given by the expression for power as
Therefore, the power consumed will be 25 W.
You are given kerosene, turpentine and water. In which of these does the light travel fastest? Use the information given in Table 10.3.
