A light bulb is rated at 200 W for a 220 V supply. Find the resistance of the bulb ?

  1. A \(220 \Omega\)
  2. B \(484 \Omega\)
  3. C \(242 \Omega\)
  4. D \(400 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(242 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C) \(242 \Omega\)
Power \(\mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{P}}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}=\frac{(220)^{2}}{200}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{R}=242 \Omega\)
