Energy consumed by an appliance is given by the expression,
P = I V
R = P V 2
Where,
Power rating, P = 1 0 0 W
Voltage, V = 2 2 0 V
Resistance, R = 1 0 0 2 2 0 2 = 4 8 4 Ω
The resistance of the bulb remains constant if the supply voltage is reduced to 1 1 0 V . If the
bulb is operated on 110 V, then the energy consumed by it is given by the expression for power as
∴ P = R ( V 2 ) = 4 8 4 1 1 0 2 = 2 5 W
Therefore, the power consumed will be 2 5 W
