The resistance of the filament of an electric bulb changes with temperature. If an electric bulb rated $220\, volt$ and $100\, watt$ is connected $(220 \times 0.8)$ $volt$ sources, then the actual power would be

(d) ${P_1} = \frac{{{{(220)}^2}}}{{{R_1}}}$ and ${P_2} = \frac{{{{(220 \times 0.8)}^2}}}{{{R_2}}}$
$\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = \frac{{{{(220 \times 0.8)}^2}}}{{{{(220)}^2}}} \times \frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}}$ $⇒$ $\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = {(0.8)^2} \times \frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}}$ Here $R_2 < R_1$
(because voltage decreases from $220 V ⇒ 220 × 0.8 \,V$
It means heat produced $⇒$ decreases)
So $\frac{{{R_1}}}{{{R_2}}} > 1$ $⇒$ ${P_2} > {(0.8)^2}{P_1}$ $⇒$ ${P_2} > {(0.8)^2} \times 100\,W$
Also $\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} = \frac{{(220 \times 0.8){i_2}}}{{220\,{i_1}}},$ Since ${i_2} < {i_1}$ (we expect)
So $\frac{{{P_2}}}{{{P_1}}} < 0.8$ $⇒$ ${P_2} < (100 \times 0.8)$
Hence the actual power would be between $100 \times {(0.8)^2}\,W$ and $(100 × 0.8)\, W$

If power dissipated in the $9 \,\Omega$ resistor in the circuit shown is $36\,W$, the potential difference across the $2 \,\Omega$ resistor is .......... $V$
In the circuit shown in figure potential difference between points A and $B$ is $16\,V$. the current passing through $2 \Omega$ resistance will be $...........\,A$
The Kirchhooff's first law $\left(\sum i=0\right)$ and second law ( $\left.\sum i R=\sum E\right)$, where the symbols have their usual meanings, are respectively based on
$A$ wire of length $L$ and $3$ identical cells of negligible internal resistances are connected in series. Due to the current, the temperature of the wire is raised by $\Delta T$ in time $t. N$ number of similar cells is now connected in series with a wire of the same material and cross section but of length $2L$. The temperature of the wire is raised by the same amount $\Delta T$ in the same time $t$. The value of $N$ is :
Two cells of emf $2\, E$ and $E$ with internal resistance $r _{1}$ and $r _{2}$ respectively are connected in series to an external resistor $R$ (see $figure$). The value of $R ,$ at which the potential difference across the terminals of the first cell becomes zero is
The $V-i$ graph for a conductor makes an angle $\theta $ with $V-$ axis. Here $ V$ denotes the voltage and $i$ denotes current. The resistance of conductor is given by
The length of a wire of a potentiometer is $100\, cm$, and the $emf$ of its standard cell is $E\,volt$. It is employed to measure the $e.m.f$ of a battery whose internal resistance is $0.5 \,\Omega$. If the balance point is obtained at $l = 30\, cm$ from the positive end, the $e.m.f.$ of the battery is
