A \( 100 \mathrm{~W} \) bulb is connected to an \( \mathrm{AC} \) source of \( 220 \mathrm{~V}, 50 \mathrm{~Hz} \). Then the current flowing through the bulb is

  1. A \( \frac{5}{11} A \)
  2. B \( \frac{1}{2} A \)
  3. C \( 2 \mathrm{~A} \)
  4. D \( \frac{3}{4} A \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \frac{5}{11} A \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, power of bulb \( =100 \mathrm{~W} \); voltage of source \( =200 \mathrm{~V} \)
Now, \( P=I V \Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{100}{220}=\frac{5}{11} A \)
Therefore, current flowing through the bulb is \( \frac{5}{11} A \)
