Question 60

An electric bulb rated $$60\text{ W}$$ at $$220\text{ V}$$. If the bulb is used on $$110\text{ V}$$ supply, its power would be

Solution

The resistance stays the same, so $$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$$ is proportional to $$V^2$$. Halving the voltage makes the power $$\frac{1}{4} \times 60 = 15\text{ W}$$.
