An electric bulb rated \(50 \mathrm{~W}-200 \mathrm{~V}\) is connected across a \(100 \mathrm{~V}\) supply. The power dissipation of the bulb is _______.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(12.5 \mathrm{~W}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Rated power \(\&\) voltage gives resistance

\(\mathrm{R}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^2}{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{(200)^2}{50}=\frac{40000}{50}\)

\(\mathrm{R}=800\)

\(\mathrm{P}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\text {applied }}\right)^2}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{(100)^2}{800}\)

\(\mathrm{P}=12.5 \text { watt }\)

Hence option \(1\) is correct.
