Question: Two bulbs have ratings 100 W, 220 V and 60 W, 220 V respectively. Which one has a greater resistance ? Answer: P=VI= V 2 /R For the same V, R is inversely proportional to P. Therefore, the bulb 60 W, 220 V has a greater resistance. Question: A torch bulb has a resistance of 1 Ω when cold. It draws a current of 0.2 A from a source of 2 V and glows. Calculate (i) the resistance of the bulb when glowing and (ii) explain the reason for the difference in resistance. Answer: (i) When the bulb glows: V = I R ---- Ohm's law R = V/I = 2/.2 = 10 Ω (ii) Resistance of the filament of the bulb increases with increase in temperature. Hence when it glows its resistances is greater than when it is cold. Question: Calculate the resistance of 1 km long copper wire of radius 1 mm. (Resistivity of copper = 1.72 x 1 0 -8 Answer: L = 1 km = 1000 m R = 1 mm = 1 x 1 0 -3 A = p r 2 Question: When a potential difference of 2 V is applied across the ends o
