If the resistance doubles while the voltage stays the same, what effect will that have on the power?

1 answer:

4 0

The best formula to use for this question is

Power = (voltage)² / R

So Original power = (voltage)² / (original R)
and
New power = (same voltage)² / (2 x original R)

That's equal to (1/2) (voltage)² / (original R)

which is equal to (1/2) (original power) .

So I guess the power decreases by half, and that's choice-B .

An electric bulb draws a current of 0.8A from 250 V mains. The bulb is used on an average 8

mihalych1998 [28]

First, we must find the power consumed by the light bulb. This is given by:
Power = voltage * current
Power = 250 * 0.8
Power = 200 W = 0.2 kW

Now, we must calculate the number of hours that the bulb is used, as the price given to us is in Rs/kWh. This is:
8 hours per day * 30 days
= 240 hours

Total kWh = 0.2 * 240
Total kWh = 48 kWh

Bill = 3 * 48
Bill = 144 Rs
