Question
An electric bulb is marked '100 W, 250 V'. What information does this convey?
Solution
It means that if the bulb is lighted on a 250 V supply, it consumes 100 W electrical power (which means 100J of electrical energy is converted in the filament of bulb into the light and heat energy in 1 second).
