When connected across a power supply, an electric bulb consumes of power. What will be the power consumed if the supply voltage drops to , and what will it be if the supply is abruptly raised to ?
Options
- A and
- B and
- C and
- D and
Correct answer
A. and
Step-by-step solution
The resistance of the electric bulb is given by
Substituting the given values,
Assuming the resistance of the bulb remains constant, the power consumed at a new voltage is
