The correct Answer is:
To find the power consumed by a light bulb rated at 200 W and 220 V when the supply voltage is 200 V, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the resistance of the bulb The resistance \( R \) of the bulb can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = \frac{V^2}{P} \] where \( V \) is the rated voltage (220 V) and \( P \) is the rated power (200 W). Substituting the values: \[ R = \frac{(220)^2}{200} = \frac{48400}{200} = 242 \, \Omega \] ### Step 2: Calculate the power consumed at the supply voltage of 200 V Now that we have the resistance, we can calculate the power consumed \( P' \) when the supply voltage is 200 V using the formula: \[ P' = \frac{V'^2}{R} \] where \( V' \) is the supply voltage (200 V). Substituting the values: \[ P' = \frac{(200)^2}{242} = \frac{40000}{242} \approx 165.29 \, W \] ### Final Answer The power consumed by the bulb when the supply voltage is 200 V is approximately **165 W**. ---
