Question

An electric bulb is rated at 220 V, 100 W. What is its resistance? What maximum current can be passed through it?
Numerical

Solution

Given, P = 100 W, p.d. = 220 V

We know that,

P = `"V"^2/"R"`

P = `"V"^2/"R" = *(220)^2/100 = 484 Omega`

Also, we know that,

P=VI

I = `"P"/"V" = 100/220 = 0.45`A

Thus a fuse of rating 7A may be used with the appliance and it should be connected in the live wire before connectimg it to the appliance
