A bulb of resistance 280 Ω is supplied with a 200 V A C supply. What is the peak current?
Options
- ANearly 1   A
- BNearly 2   A
- CNearly 1 . 4   A
- DNearly 2 . 8   A
Correct answer
A. Nearly 1   A
Step-by-step solution
Peak voltage, V peak = 2 V Peak current, I peak = V peak R = 2 V R ⇒ I peak = 2 × 200 280 ≈ 1   A
