An electric bulb is designed to consume 55 W when operated at 110 volts. It is connected to a 220 V, 50 Hz line through a choke coil in series. What should be the inductance of the coil for which the bulb gets correct voltage?

Given: Power (P) = 55W,


Bulb operated at voltage (V) = 110V,


Voltage supplied (E) = 220V


Resistance (R) will be



Frequency (f) =50Hz,


Angular velocity will be



Current (I) in the circuit will be



Voltage drop across the resistor will be












Where, L is the inductance of the coil for which the bulb gets correct voltage.
