Question

if a bulb of 60 w is connected across a source of 200 v find the current drawn by it

............... science part 1 answers batao ​

Answer 1

$p = v \times i$

$60 = 200 \times i$

$i = 60 \div 200$

$i = 0.3 \: ampere$

Answer 2

Firstly we calculate the resistance of the bulb,

According to Ohm’s Law

R=V/I Where,R=Resistance , V=Voltage ,I=Current..

100w at 220v, I=P/V.

=100/220=0.454Amp.

R=V/I; 220/0.454=484.56 ohms.

When it is connected to 240 Volts

I=V/R; 240/484.56=0.495 ~ 0.50 Amps.

Power consumed(P)=V×I; 240×0.50=120 W.

The bulb will consume 120 W at 240 Volts. 20W difference.

This is not a loss the bulb glows brighter than it used in 220 volts..
