The resistance of hot tungsten filament is about 10 times the cold resistance. What will be the resistance of 100 ~W and 200 ~V lamp when not in use?
Options
- A40
- B20
- C400
- D200
Correct answer
A. 40
Step-by-step solution
R_ hot = V^2 P = 200 200 100 =400 cold resistance =R_ hot / 10=400 / 10=40
