In the United States the standard voltage in homes is 120 V. Therefore, a “90 W” American bulb would be intended for use with a 120 V potential difference. If a "90 W" bulb is connected across a 230 V potential difference (as is used, for example, in Europe), how much power does it dissipate? Ignore the temperature dependence of the bulb’s resistance.
