Question

An electric bulb, rated as 200 W at 100 V, is used in a circuit having a 200 V supply. The resistance R, that must be put in series with the bulb, so that the
bulb delivers the same power is Ω)

Solution

Power, P=V2R
RB=V21P=100×100200=50 Ω

For the 200 V supply, power is still equal to 200 W
To deliver same power, the potential difference across the bulb should be equal to 100 V. This will happen by connecting an equal resistance in series with the bulb, so that the potential difference across both, the bulb and the resistance, is 100 V, each.
R=50 Ω
