An electric bulb rated is connected across a supply. The power dissipation of the bulb is:
- A100 W
- B50 W
- C12.5 W
- D25 W
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- Use the bulb's rated values to find its resistance
For a bulb rated at ,
So,
- Now connect it to the actual supply voltage
The bulb is connected across , so the power dissipated becomes
- Match with the options
So the correct option is C.
- Verification with stored answer
Stored correct answer: C
My derived answer: C
They agree.
