An electric bulb with a tungsten filament has an area of 0.20 cm^2 and is raised to a temperature of the bulb to 3000 K emissivity of the filament is 0.40 and Stefan's constant is 5.7 xx 10^(-5) erg s^(-1) cm^(-1) K^(-4) . The electrical energy consumed by the bulb is E_1 watt. If due to fall in voltage, the temperature of the filament falls to 2800 K, then the wattage of the bulb is E_2 watt. Calculate the value of E_1 - E_2 , close to nearest integer.
