If voltage across a bulb rated 22 volt 100 watt drops by 2.5% of its rated value, the percentage of the rated value by which the power would decrease is

A

0.05

B

0.1

C

0.2

D

0.025

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
0.01
`PpropV^(2)` So `(DeltaP)/(P)=2(DeltaV)/(V)=5%`
