A \(220 \; V , 50 \; Hz\) AC source is connected to a \(25 \; V\), \(5 \; W\) lamp and an additional resistance \(R\) in series (as shown in figure) to run the lamp at its peak brightness, then the value of \(R\) (in ohm) will be

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(975\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P = Vi\)
\(5=25 i\)
\(i=\frac{1}{5}\)
\(V_{R}=i R\)
\((220-25)=\frac{1}{5} R\)
\(R=195 \times 5=975 \Omega\)
