If voltage across a bulb rated 220 volt-100 watt drops by 2.5% of its rated value, the percentage of the rated value by which the power would decrease is

  1. 20%
  2. 2.5%
  3. 5%
  4. 10%

Answer

(3) 5%

Solution

For the bulb, resistance R is constant: P = V2R

P = 2 V (for a small change)

Percentage decrease in power = 2 2.5\% = 5\%

Answer: (3)

A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient, across the potentiometer wire, is k volt/cm and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads 1.0 A when two way key is switched off. The balance points, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at length l1 cm and l2 cm respectively. The magnitudes, of the resistors R and X, in ohms, are then, equal, respectively, to [figure]
