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 $(100 × 0.8)\, W$

A rise of temperature of $4\,^oC$ is observed in a conductor by passing a current. If the current is tripled, the rise temperature will be .............. $^oC$
A resistor develops $300 \,J$ of thermal energy in $15 \,s$, when a current of $2\, A$ is passed through it. If the current increases to $3 \,A$, the energy developed in $10\,\,s$ is........$J.$
A cell, shunted by a $8 \; \Omega$ resistance, is balanced across a potentiometer wire of length $3 \; m$. The balancing length is $2 \; m$ when the cell is shunted by $4 \; \Omega$ resistance. The value of internal resistance of the cell will be $\dots \; \Omega .$
In the circuit shown below, the switch $S$ is connected to position $P$ for a long time so that the charge on the capacitor becomes $q _1 \mu C$. Then $S$ is switched to position $Q$. After a long time, the charge on the capacitor is $q _2 \mu C$.
