At first, you have to understand why bulb glows. It is because heat produced there due to resistance.
The voltage V is related to power P by the formula
,P = I x RI is the current through the resistance where the voltage is applied.
Again,V=IR.
So, P= V^2 / R Or, R= V^2/P
Here, R = (200)^2 /100= (200 x 200) / 100 = 400 ohms.
Putting this back in the eqn
V=IR
now it connected with 220 Volt so
I = 220/400 = 0.55 Ampere
