An electric bulb is rated $$220$$ volt $$- 100$$ watt. The power consumed by it when operated on $$110$$ volt will be
The formula relating power ($$P$$), voltage ($$V$$), and resistance ($$R$$) is:
$$ P = \frac{V^2}{R} $$
Rearranging to solve for resistance:
$$ R = \frac{V^2}{P} $$
Given the rated values:
Rated voltage, $$V_1 = 220 \text{ V}$$
Rated power, $$P_1 = 100 \text{ W}$$
Substitute these values to find the resistance ($$R$$):
$$ R = \frac{(220)^2}{100} $$
$$ R = \frac{48400}{100} $$
$$ R = 484\ \Omega $$
Now, we calculate the power consumed when the bulb is operated on the new voltage.
New operating voltage, $$V_2 = 110 \text{ V}$$
Using the power formula again with the new voltage and the calculated constant resistance:
$$ P_2 = \frac{V_2^2}{R} $$
$$ P_2 = \frac{(110)^2}{484} $$
$$ P_2 = \frac{12100}{484} $$
$$ P_2 = 25 \text{ W} $$
