If a light bulb operates at 220 V and resistance of the bulb is 484 Ω, then the value of powerdissipated will be
Correct answer: C. 100.0 W.
- A. 0.4 W.
- B. 2.2 W.
- C. 100.0 W.
- D. 1064.8 W.
Explanation
To find the power dissipated in the light bulb, use the formula P = V²/R, where V is the voltage (220 V) and R is the resistance (484 Ω). Substituting these values gives P = (220)² / 484 = 100 W. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 W. The other options are incorrect due to miscalculations or misunderstandings of the formula.

About Steady Current
Steady current is the continuous flow of charge at a constant rate through a conductor. The topic covers current, charge, potential difference, resistance, Ohm's law, resistivity and electrical power, along with series and parallel circuits, while distinguishing conventional current direction from electron motion.
