Correct Answer - Option 2 : A bulb with 220 V supply and resistance of 50 ohm

CONCEPT:

• Resistance: The opposition of the flow of current in an electrical circuit is called its resistance.
• Ohm's Law: A law that states that electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance.
• Mathematically it is written as,

⇒ V = IR or I = V/R

where R is the resistance, I is current, and V is the voltage across the conductor.

Power in resistance:

$⇒ P=VI = {V^2\over R}=I^2R$

where I is the current and  V is the voltage.

• If the power of the bulb increases, the bulb will become brighter than before.

EXPLANATION:

• Option 1: V = 220 volt and R = 100 Ω

$⇒ P_1= {V^2\over R}= {220^2\over 100}=484 watt$

• Option 2: V = 220 volt and R = 50 Ω

$⇒ P_2= {V^2\over R}= {220^2\over 50}=968 watt$

• Option 3: V = 110 volt and R = 100 Ω

$⇒ P_3= {V^2\over R}= {110^2\over 100}=121 watt$

• Option 4: V = 110 volt and R = 50 Ω

$⇒ P_4= {V^2\over R}= {110^2\over 50}=242 watt$

• Clearly, the power of the bulb in option 2 is greater than the other.
• We know that If the power of the bulb increases, the bulb will become brighter than before.
• So the bulb in option 2 will glow more brightly than the others. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
The passage contains a physics question about which of four light bulbs will glow the brightest, along with the correct answer and an explanation involving calculations of power for each bulb.
