Question
A light bulb is rated at 120 W for a 220 V a.c. supply. Calculate the resistance of the bulb.
Solution
Power of the bulb, P = 120 W
Voltage, V = 240 V
The resistance of the buld is given as
`R = V^2/P = (240^2)/120 = 480 Omega`

You are given three circuit elements X, Y and Z. When the element X is connected across an a.c. source of a given voltage, the current and the voltage are in the same phase. When the element Y is connected in series with X across the source, voltage is ahead of the current in phase by π/4 .
