Two bulbs are having the ratings as 60\ W, 220\ V and 40\ W, 220\ V respectively. Which one has a greater resistance?

Electric power is given by the formula,
 
P=iii
 
For the same value of V is inversely proportional to .
 
Therefore, . Hence, the bulb with  rating has a greater resistance.
 
2. Calculate the resistance of a 100 W electric bulb having a voltage of 200 V in an electric circuit.

[Note: Enter the answer as a whole number.]

The formula of power is
 
P=ii
 
To calculate the current, the formula is
 
I=ii
 
The current flowing through an electric bulb is  A.

Now, the value of resistance can be easily calculated using its formula.
 
R=ii
 
Thus, the resistance flowing through an 100 W electric bulb with 200 V in an electric circuit is  Ω.
