Physics Current Electricity General MCQ (Single Correct)

A bulb is connected to an ideal battery of emf 10 V so that the resulting current is 10 mA. When the bulb is connected to 220 V mains (ideal), the current is 50 mA. Choose the correct alternative (s)

A
In the first case, the resistance of the bulb is 1k Ω Ω and in second case, it is 4.4 k Ω Ω .
B
It is not possible since ohm’s law is not followed
C
The increase in resistance is due to heating of the filament of the bulb when it is connected to 220 V mains
D
None of these

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(a, c)

(i) R bulb = = 1. k Ω Ω

(ii) R bulb = = 4.4 k Ω Ω .

since increase in temperature increases resistance when it is connected to 220 V mains.
