The resistance of a bulb filament changes with temperature. If a bulb rated at $220 \ V$ and $100 \ W$ is connected to a supply of $(220 \times 0.8) \ V$,the actual power consumed will be:

  • A
    $100 \times 0.8 \ W$
  • B
    $100 \times (0.8)^2 \ W$
  • C
    Between $100 \times 0.8 \ W$ and $100 \ W$
  • D
    Between $100 \times (0.8)^2 \ W$ and $100 \times 0.8 \ W$

Incandescent bulbs are designed by keeping in mind that the resistance of their filament increases with the increase in temperature. If at room temperature,$100 \ W$,$60 \ W$ and $40 \ W$ bulbs have filament resistances $R_{100}$,$R_{60}$ and $R_{40}$,respectively,the relation between these resistances is

The $H$ amount of thermal energy is developed by a resistor in $10\,s$ when a current of $4\,A$ is passed through it. If the current is increased to $16\,A$,the thermal energy developed by the resistor in $10\,s$ will be $........\,H$
