Question 268 of 380

The resistance of hot tungsten filament is about 10 times the cold resistance. What will be the resistance of 100 W100 \mathrm{~W} and 200 V200 \mathrm{~V} lamp when not in use?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) 40Ω40 \Omega

Rhot =V2P=200×200100=400ΩR_{\text {hot }}=\frac{V^2}{P}=\frac{200 \times 200}{100}=400 \Omega
cold resistance
=Rhot /10=400/10=40Ω=R_{\text {hot }} / 10=400 / 10=40 \Omega
