An electric bulb of resistance 400 Omega...

An electric bulb of resistance `400 Omega`, draws a current of `0.5 A`. Calculate the power of the bulb and the potential difference at its ends.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
100 W, 200 V

`P = I^2 R = (0.5 A)^2 (400 Omega) = 100 W`
As `P = VI, V = (P)/(I) = (100 W)/(0.5 A) = 200 V`.
