Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Electric power P = VI. Thus I = P/V = 100 W / 220 V ≈ 0.4545 A ≈ 0.45 A. This direct application of power formula is fundamental in electricity. Memory tip: 'I = P/V for resistive loads'. Competitive exams frequently test such calculations with household appliance ratings. Always use consistent units (watts, volts, amperes). Note: This assumes purely resistive load (valid for incandescent bulbs); for motors or electronics, power factor may matter, but not at this level.
