Depending on the specific computer it can be anywhere from as little as a few milliwatts to hundreds of kilowatts. There is no single value, also many modern computers change the amount of power they consume depending on what they are doing at a given time (e.g. lots of calculations in the ALU increases power consumption, entering "sleep mode" due to user inactivity reduces power consumption)

An electric bulb is rated 220v and 100wWhen it is operated on 110v the power consumed will be what?

When the electric bulb is operated at 110V instead of its rated 220V, the power consumed will be reduced to 25W. This is because power is proportional to the square of the voltage, so halving the voltage will quarter the power consumed (P = V^2/R, where R is constant for the bulb).
