A filament bulb (500 W, 100 V) is to be used in a 230 V main suply. When a resistance R is connected in series, it works perfectly and the bulb consumes 500 W. The value of R is :

(A)

\(\large 13 \Omega\)

(B)

\(\large 230\, \Omega\)

(C)

\(\large 46 \, \Omega\)

(D)

\(\large 26 \, \Omega\)

Answer & Solution:

\(\Large I = \frac{P}{V} \)

 \(\Large I = \frac{500}{100} \) = 5 A

Net Voltage supply = 230 V 

Potential difference across R is 230 - 100 = 130 V 

\(\Large R = \frac{V}{I} \)

\(\Large R = \frac{130}{5} \) = 26 ohm
