Respuesta :

Answer:

The current through the bulb is 0.5 Ampere.

Explanation:

Given:

Power = P = 60 watt

Voltage = V = 120 volts

To Find:

Current = I =?

Solution:

Power:

It is the product of Voltage and Current

Unit = watts

Formula

[tex]Power = Voltage\times Current[/tex]

[tex]P=V\times I\\60=120\times I\\\therefore I=\frac{60}{120} \\\therefore I=0.5\ Ampere[/tex]
