Questions  

The resistance of hot tungsten filament is about 10 times the cold resistance. What will be the resistance of 100 W and 200 V lamp when not in use?

a
400  Ω
b
200  Ω
c
40  Ω
d
20  Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is C

It is given RHot = 10 RCold. Also resistance, at rated temperature, R=V2P  =200 ×  200100  =  400  ΩSo resistance when lamp not in use,RCold  =  RHot10 = 40010=40  Ω
