An electric bulb is connected to a 220 V power supply line. If the bulb draws a current of 0.5 A, calculate the power of the bulb.

Open in App

Solution

Current = I = 0.5 A

Potential difference = V = 220 V

Power = P = ?

Now, P = V I

Put the values

P = 220 * 0.5

P = 110 watt.

Therefore, the power of the bulb is 110 watt.
