To solve the problem of how the power changes when the current in an electric bulb changes by 1%, we can use the relationship between power, current, and resistance. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power and current The power (P) consumed by an electric bulb can be expressed using the formula: \[ P = I^2 \cdot R \] where: - \( P \) is the power, - \( I \) is the current, ...
