Q74JEE Main 2005 · AIEEEMedium

Electrical Power & Heating Effect

The resistance of hot tungsten filament is about 1010 times the cold resistance. What will be resistance of 100 W100\text{ W} and 200 V200\text{ V} lamp when not in use?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Hot resistance Rhot=V2P=2002100=400 ΩR_{hot} = \frac{V^2}{P} = \frac{200^2}{100} = 400\ \Omega.
  2. Cold resistance =40010=40 Ω= \frac{400}{10} = 40\ \Omega.
  3. So the answer is (b) 40 Ω40\ \Omega.
