An electric bulb is rated '100 W, 250 V'. What is the resistance of the bulb?

150 ohm

350 ohm

625 ohm

25,000 ohm

A

B

C

D

Detailed Explanation

The correct answer is option C. 625 ohm.

Arrow

If the bulb is rated as '100 W, 250 V', it means its power rating is 100 Watts and voltage rating is 250 Volts.

P = 100 W V = 250 V

Using the expression for Power, we can write the formula to find the resistance of the bulb as,

P =

V

R

2

,

R =

V

P

2

Substitute the given values to find the resistance of the bulb.

V

P

2

R =

=>

250

100

2

=

625 Ω.
