A volt, watt bulb is connected across a mains supply. The power consumed will be
- Awatt
- Bwatt
- Cwatt
- Dwatt
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use the bulb's rated values to find its resistance
For a bulb rated and ,
So,
- Now connect it to supply
Assuming the resistance remains the same, the new power is
- Check via ratio method
Since resistance is constant,
Therefore,
So,
- Evaluate options
- A: watt — incorrect
- B: watt — incorrect
- C: watt — correct
- D: watt — incorrect
Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
