Best Answer

A lamp will only operate at its rated power when subject to its rated voltage. So, provided your lamp is operating at its rated voltage (120 V), it's power will be 100 W, which means its consuming energy at the rate of 100 J/s.

At any other voltage, its operating power will change, and the rate at which it consumes energy will change too.

Why does the voltage vari after turning on power?

Inductive and capacitive elements store energy. When first switched on, they attempt to charge up, which causes these transient voltages. When the power turned on rather a load is put on, it draws the load current, by which the IR drop iccurs, resulting into voltage drop.
