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

shivam8899: is my answer correct
AnkitaGupta10th: agar mujhe pta hota to me puchti kyu?
shivam8899: hihihi ...btw trust me this is correct
AnkitaGupta10th: no ur answer is correct or not but plz tell the formula you used in solving
shivam8899: P = V^2/ R ....nd in end when voltage will change,then i use V = IR
AnkitaGupta10th: i did not study this formula
shivam8899: so now u should
