JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

An electric bulb rated as \(200\, {W}\) at \(100 \,{V}\) is used in a circuit having \(200\, {V}\) supply. The resistance \('R'\) that must be put in series with the bulb so that the bulb delivers the same power is \(.....\,\Omega\)

  1. A \(15\)
  2. B \(20\)
  3. C \(5\)
  4. D \(50\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power, \(P =\frac{ V ^{2}}{ R _{ B }}\) \(R_{B}=\frac{V^{2}}{P}=\frac{100 \times 100}{200}\) \(R_{B}=50 \Omega\) To produce same power, same voltage should be across the bulb Hence, \(R=R_{B}=50 \Omega\)
