प्रश्न
What do you mean by power rating of an electrical appliance? How do you use it to calculate the resistance of the appliance.
उत्तर
An electrical appliance such as electric bulb, geyser etc. is rated with power (P) and voltage (V) which is known as its power rating. For example: If an electric bulb is rated as 50W-220V, it means that when the bulb is lighted on a 220 V supply, it consumes 50 W electrical power.
To calculate the resistance of the appliance, the expression is:
Resistance, R =`("V"^2)/("P")`
