Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 109

Question: An electric bulb rated for 500 watts at 100 volts is used in a circuit having a 200-volt supply. The resistance R that must be put in series with the bulb, so that the bulb draws 500 W is

Options:

A) $ 10,\Omega $

B) $ 20,\Omega $

C) Rated current through the circuit $ i=\frac{500}{100}=5A $ Potential difference across R, $ 100=5\times R,\Rightarrow ,R=20,\Omega $
