Answer / tripti kumari
first we find the resistance of the lamp that is given by formula p=V*V/R
R=230*230/200=264.5 ohm
now current flow through the lamp when connected to the supply 115 V that is
I=V/R
I=115/264.5=0.435
now power draw by the lamp given by
p=V*I=115*0.435=50.025
so it is slightly more than 50 W.

Answer / roy
find amp draw (200W/230V); find resistance 230V/amp draw; find amps at 115V; I^2*R=Power consumed. 50.2Watts

Answer / satheesh
The above answer is also wrong and Ist answer i
correct.Since the bulb is rated for 230 V and the power is
200W only at rated voltage.So the resistance is constant for
this rating.v2/w=230^2/200=264.5 ohms.If we apply 115 V also
this resistance will not vary.So the current drawn at this
time is v/R=I=115/264.5=0.435A=So definitely power = V*I
115*.435=50 Watts.

Answer / sachin prajapati
(1) R=V1^2/P=230^2/200=264.5
V2=115
P=V2^2/R=115^2/264.5=50W
(2) R=264.5
I2=V2/R=115/264.5=0.435
P=V2I2=115×0.435=50.025W
So answer can both

Answer / raghavendran.r
The above mentioned answer is wrong.Plz do remember that at any condition the power consumes by an equipment will not change from its designed value.
If you are operating a system at reduced voltage then to meet with the power requirement it will consume more current, rather than operate at less power.
So if the voltage is reduced by half, the current has to increase accordingly.
V*I = P;then 230*I = 200;I = .87A.
for V = 115 then current = 1.732A.

Dear All, In a 400V power system, ratio of three current transformers installed incoming switchgear is 4000/1. Maximum three phases short circuit current of this system is 48kA. One CT is installed on neutral of upstream transformer (6/0.42kV, solidly earthed) for 51G protection. Would you please inform me about the correct CT ratio of this current transformer (on neutral)?? Thanks a million

Dear Friends, I have a 500KVA transformer supplying whole factory having 3 phase and single phase mixed loads. Power room has ammeters connected via CTs for individual phase. Now I know that readings shown on meter for each phase say R,Y and B are line currents. But when I want to know the total on transformer do I need to add the currents of all three phases readings shown on meter or value for anyone phase will give me the correct power load on transformer for that point of time. 2. If ammeter shows unbalanced readings for R,Y, B phases say 150, 250 and 300 respectively so can I assume that 150A i.e average of 3 will be the 3phase load currents and remaining will be 1phase currents. Please clarify my doubt.
