Answer:
121ohms
Explanation:
Formula used for calculating power P = current * voltage
P = IV
From ohms law, V = IR where R is the resistance. Substituting V = IR into the formula for calculating power, we will have;
P = IV
P =(V/R)V
P = V²/R
Given parameters
Power rating of the bulb P = 100 Watts
Source voltage V = 110V
Required
Resistance of the bulb R
Substituting the given parameters into the formula for calculating power to get Resistance R;
P = V²/R
100 = 110²/R
R = 110²/100
R = 110 * 110/100
R = 12100/100
R = 121 ohms
Hence, the resistance of this bulb is 121 ohms
