An electric bulb rated for 500 watts at 100 volts is used in a circuit having a 200 volt supply. The resistance R that must be put in series with the bulb so that the bulb draws 500 W is

a
10  Ω
b
20  Ω
c
50  Ω
d
100  Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Rated current through the circuit, i=500100=5APotential difference across  R,  100=5  ×  R⇒ R=20 Ω
