    The current through n bulb is increased by. Assuming that the resistance of the filament remains unchanged the power of the bulb will

    A)  increase by 1%  

    B)  decrease by 1%

    C)  increase by 2%   

    D)  decrease by 2%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Power \[P={{I}^{2}}R\] \[\therefore \]  \[P\propto {{I}^{2}}\] Then \[\frac{{{P}_{1}}}{{{P}_{2}}}=\frac{{{I}^{2}}}{{{\left( \frac{101}{100} \right)}^{2}}{{I}^{2}}}\] Percentage increase in power \[\left( \frac{{{P}_{2}}}{{{P}_{1}}}-1 \right)%=\left( \frac{101\times 101}{100\times 100}-1 \right)%\] \[=2%\]
