Solution
The correct option is similar to B
Given,
$$110 V, 60 W$$ lamp is run from a $$220 V$$
The lamp is close to an ideal resistance giving voltage $$( Vr )$$ at phase angle $$\theta = 0^o$$;
The capacitor is close to an ideal reactance giving voltage $$( Vc )$$
at phase angle $$\theta = 90^o $$
The voltages across the lamp and capacitor will be in quadrature with one another,
and the supply voltage $$( Vs )$$ will be the PHASOR SUM of $$Vr and Vc$$
$$\Rightarrow Vs^2 = Vr^2 + Vc^2 $$
$$\Rightarrow Vc^2 = Vs^2 - Vr^2$$
$$⇒ Vc^2 = 220^2 - 110^2$$
$$\Rightarrow Vc^2 = 36300$$
$$\Rightarrow Vc = \sqrt{ 36300 }$$
$$\Rightarrow Vc \approx 191 V $$
