An electric bulb rated as 220 W, 110 V is used in a circuit having a 220 V supply. For the bulb to deliver 220 W, the resistance to be added in the series is

  1. A \( 55 \Omega \)
  2. B \( 110 \Omega \)
  3. C \( 165 \Omega \)
  4. D \( 220 \Omega \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 55 \Omega \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I = P/V \) \( I = 220 \, W / 110 \, V = 2 \, A \) \( V_{series} = V_{supply} - V_{rated} \) \( V_{series} = 220 \, V - 110 \, V = 110 \, V \) \( R_{series} = V_{series} / I \) \( R_{series} = 110 \, V / 2 \, A = 55 \, \Omega \)
