Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A 100 W bulb is connected to a 220 V supply. What is the current flowing through the bulb?
  • Step 1: Identify the power of the bulb, which is given as 100 W.
  • Step 2: Identify the voltage of the supply, which is given as 220 V.
  • Step 3: Use the formula P = VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current.
  • Step 4: Rearrange the formula to find current I: I = P / V.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: I = 100 W / 220 V.
  • Step 6: Calculate the current: I ≈ 0.45 A.
  • Power Calculation – Understanding the relationship between power (P), voltage (V), and current (I) using the formula P = VI.
  • Ohm's Law – Applying Ohm's Law to find current when power and voltage are known.
