Problem

An electric lamp has a filament whose resistance at its operating temperature is 920 Ω920\,\Omega. a. (i) The lamp is connected to a 230 V230\,\text{V} mains supply. Calculate the power consumed by the lamp at its rated voltage. b. (ii) The same lamp is accidentally connected to a 115 V115\,\text{V} supply. Calculate the power now consumed and state, with reason, whether the lamp will glow with normal brightness.
