  • question_answer
    A 30 V, 90 W lamp is to be operated on a 120 V DC line. For proper glow, a resistor of ... \[\Omega \] should be connected in series with the lamp.

    A)  40              

    B)  10

    C)  20              

    D)  30

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Resistance of the lamp \[{{R}_{0}}=\frac{{{V}^{2}}}{P}=\frac{{{(30)}^{2}}}{90}=10\,\Omega \] Current in the lamp \[i=\frac{30}{10}=3A\] when lamp is operated on a 120 V, then resistance \[R=\frac{V}{i}=\frac{120}{3}=40\,\Omega \] Thus, for proper glow, the resistance required  to the put in series will b \[R=R-{{R}_{0}}=40-10=30\,\Omega \]
