How much power is dissipated in a light bulb


The power rating on a light bulb indicates how much power it would dissipate when it is hooked up to the standard household voltage of 120 V (this rating does not mean that the light bulb always dissipates the same amount of power, assume that the resistance is constant in this case).


(a) How much power is dissipated in a light bulb that is normally rated at 100 W, if instead we hook it up to a potential difference of 60 V?
(b) How much power is dissipated in a light bulb that is normally rated at 100 W, if instead we hook it up to a potential difference of 240 V?
