An electric bulb marked as 50W-200V is connected across a \(100 \mathrm{V}\) supply. The present power of the bulb is

  1. A \(37.5 \mathrm{W}\)
  2. B \(25 \mathrm{W}\)
  3. C \(12.5 \mathrm{W}\)
  4. D \(10 \mathrm{W}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(12.5 \mathrm{W}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that \[ R=\frac{V^{2}}{P} \] Given \(\quad V=200 \mathrm{V}, P=40 \mathrm{W}\) and \(\quad V=100 \mathrm{V}\) Hence, \(\quad R=\frac{V^{2}}{P}=\frac{200 \times 200}{50}\)…
