Questions  

If resistance of the filament increases with temperature, what will be power dissipated in a 220  V100  W lamp when connected to 110 V power supply?

a
25 W
b
< 25 W
c
> 25 W
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

If resistance does not vary with temperature, power consumed = VAVR2  ×  PR  =  1102202  ×  100=25  W.  But in second cases resistance decreases, so consumed power will be more than 25 W.
