Electrical Power & Heating Effect

A room heater is rated 400 W,220 V400\text{ W}, 220\text{ V}. If the supply voltage drops to 200 V, what will be the power consumed (approximately)?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Resistance from rating: R=V2P=2202400=121 ΩR = \frac{V^2}{P} = \frac{220^2}{400} = 121\ \Omega.
  2. At 200 V: P′=2002121=40000121≈331 WP' = \frac{200^2}{121} = \frac{40000}{121} \approx 331\ \text{W}.
  3. So the answer is (c) 331 W.
